Robert Thornhill, local plant ecologist

Join Robert Thornhill, local plant ecologist, to take a close-up look at magnolias in this Zoom In class. Enjoy meeting one of the oldest flowering plants, the magnolias. This ancient plant seems to have evolved before pollinating bees came on the scene. Robert will give you a glimpse into ancient times and how the magnolia survived. From a zoomed-in perspective you will discover the architecture of the plant and what makes it unique. Meet at the Doris Duke Center on Thursday, April 2, at 5:30-7 p.m. Join us for one "Zoom In" session, or all. Participant limit: 12. Qualifies for the Home Horticulture Certificate elective course, but participants need not be in the certificate program to register. gardens.duke.edu
