Carnivorous Plant Workshops
Dawn is passionate about the biology of carnivorous plants and offers schools (students and teachers) hands-on workshops which, through practical inquiry-based activites, look at adaptation to nutrient poor environments and help dispel the myth that plants are boring, passive organisms.
