Understanding Plant Toxicity
What exactly do we mean when we say a plant is poisonous? Why do plants even produce poisonous compounds? What factors influence how our bodies react when we are exposed to poisons? And how do we avoid exposure to plant toxins?
Marc Frank, Extension Botanist at the University of Florida Herbarium, will provide answers to these questions and help to dispel some common misconceptions about plant toxicity.
Marc manages the UF Herbarium’s Plant Identification and Information Service, which serves Cooperative Extension personnel, UF faculty, and other clients throughout the state of Florida.
$5 pre-order (plus Eventbrite fees) - $8 day of event.
