Desert Botanical Garden: Nature and Ecology – Bitter and Prickly: The Story of Cacti

Covered in spines, living in some of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, cacti represent one of nature’s most tenacious forms of life.

This class will explore the adaptations that make this possible, as well as the diversity of form, function and habitat found in this (mostly) new world group of plants. Instructed by Ken Sweat. Garden admission included with class purchase.
