Plant talk
SEQUIM — Pam Larsen, founder of the Community Organic Gardens of Sequim, will present “The Volatile Language of Plants” at Nash’s Farm Store, 4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way, at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The talk is free and open to the public.
“Plants may not be able to run from predators, but through their subtle communication processes, they have found ways to deal with them,” according to a news release.
In 2006, Larsen started Sequim Organic Gardeners and in 2007 was one of the founders of the Community Organic Gardens of Sequim. She has been teaching organic gardening classes ever since.
She also engages in plant research in order to translate science into terms gardeners can understand to grow better organically.
Larsen’s presentation is based on that research and will shed some light on the communication systems of plants.
