If you think plants are merely decorative, think again! They are great warriors! 

Plants have complex defense systems that protect them from predators, like deer. Patricia Milliken, Certified PA Master Naturalist, will introduce us to some of the tactics plants use to ensure their survival, including an arsenal of chemical weapons. She will illustrate these unique strategies with her extraordinary backyard plant and wildlife photographs. Tasting is optional – if you dare!
