The conservation of carnivorous plants is an integral part of the work conducted at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. For the last 20 years, the Garden has worked in the unique and species-rich bog communities that are found throughout the Coastal Plain and Southern Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States, actively monitoring, restoring and conserving carnivorous plants and their habitats. The Garden currently houses approximately 40 carnivorous plant species and nearly 300 imperiled plant species
In this workshop, you have the chance to be up close and hands-on with many of those found right here in the southeastern U.S., along with their other bog cohorts, including sundews, bladderworts and Venus flytraps.
Homeschool Workshops offer families a guided classroom experience investigating the connections found among nature, science and art. Each focuses on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as well as crosscutting concepts led by a certified Georgia science educator.
