SUMMARY:Nature Sunday: Plants that Eat!
DESCRIPTION:Join Burke Gehrung as he gives general information about multiple different carnivorous plant species and their trapping mechanisms. Various fun facts about different plants with a focus on nepenthes pitcher plants. He will have several specimens to show and possibly sell. \nFrom Burke:\nHi\, my name is Burke Gehrung\, I’m a Templeton native\, I got into growing Carnivorous plants 3 years ago and have been deeply enamored by them every day since! The reason I got into them was because my grandmother was away on vacation I took care of her plants. After taking care of them\, I decided to get plants of my own. When thinking about what plants to get I recalled the nature documentary seeing carnivorous plants specifically pitcher plants\, and I looked up if you could buy them. Lo and behold you could! I bought some and got a right onto learning how to take care of them after they were already on their way. I still have all three of those initial plants that I got and hope to keep them forever. I look forward to talking with you all and teaching you about these wonderful plants. \n \n  \nFree registration applies to participation with Nature Sunday topic and covers garden admission for the day. \nPlease Note: El Chorro Regional Park charges a $5 day use fee from March thru October on Fridays\, Saturdays\, Sundays and Holidays. \n
