SUMMARY:Galls of Southern Ontario Workshop (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:What is a gall? If you’ve ever noticed a strange bump\, ball\, or swelling on a leaf or stem\, you’ve likely spotted one—but what caused it?

This hybrid workshop will begin indoors with an introduction to gall biology\, followed by an outdoor exploration in The Arboretum\, where we’ll search for galls in the field. With well over 100 types of galls found here\, there’s an incredible amount to discover!. \n*Maximum 18 adults. \nFee: $94 (plus HST) per person if you register by the early bird deadline of August 19\, 2025.
