DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<div class="xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs">Uncover the fascinati
 ng chemistry behind the colors of the plant world! Join Natural Resource Sp
 ecialist and artist Erica for an illuminating workshop that explores the mo
 lecular magic of plant pigments—from chlorophylls and carotenoids to anthoc
 yanins and betalains.</div><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtl

  plants isn't just something we see; it's a chemical story of survival, att
 raction, and adaptation. We'll dive into the science of why different plant
 s produce different colors, exploring concepts like light absorption, molec
 ular structure, and the role pigments play in photosynthesis, pollinator at
 traction, and plant defense.</div><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vv
