Carnivorous plants turn a familiar nature lesson toward survival: how do they catch insects, and how do they manage in harsh environments? Those questions anchor Wondrous Roots and Spooky Shoots, a School’s Out Camp at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
The camp connects two ideas: insect capture and the ways plants adapt to challenging surroundings. That gives the day a defined botanical subject, rather than a general garden theme, and an accessible starting point for thinking about how plants survive.
The Conservatory describes age-appropriate learning, but does not specify plant species or particular activities. The confirmed focus is the subject itself, not a named experiment, craft or live demonstration.
