Once a month, the Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens host a free program for families to discover, through art, culture and science, just how fantastic plants can be. Drop in any time between 1 – 4. On Monday, January 21, meet some plants that are very good at self-defense! Figure out why a plant needs to defend itself, and discover all the pointy, nasty, sneaky ways that plants use to get the better of animals. For more information, call 781-283-3094, or visit www.wellesley,edu/wcbgfriends.
