Presented by the Pima County Master Gardeners

When

July 14, 2026, 5 – 6:30 p.m.

Join us for a fascinating journey into the world of plants! This three-part series of Science Short Takes will explore how plants came to shape life on Earth, the incredible ways they reproduce and spread, and the dynamic lifecycles and partnerships that sustain ecosystems across the globe and right here in the Sonoran Desert. Each session highlights a different aspect of plant life—from ancient origins to modern-day mutualisms—offering a deeper understanding of the green world all around us. Whether you're a curious learner, gardener, or nature enthusiast, you'll walk away with new insights into the vital and complex roles plants play in our world. From the first photosynthetic algae in ancient seas to the towering forests and flowering plants of today, this presentation explores the 400-million-year journey of plants. By the end of the presentation you will understand the evolutionary milestones that turned green life into the backbone of the biosphere.
