The Plants’ Toolbox is a course aimed at depicting the fascinating diversity of plant life and how our lives are impacted by it. The course revolves around three basic questions: What is a plant? What unique adaptations and responses do plants have? How do humans use plants to produce fruits and vegetables? Topics covered will range from local to global and from ancient to cutting-edge. You will be encouraged to see plants under a new light through lectures, hands-on demonstrations, fruit tastings, and on-campus site visits.
