Subject: Seeing Seeds: A Journey into the World of Seedheads, Pods, and Fruit
Speaker: Teri Dunn Chace
Based on her Timber Press title of the same name, Teri Dunn Chace’s presentation will explain how “every seed tells a story.” Though small and often not noticed or examined carefully, seeds are simply amazing—what they look like, what they do, how they do it, as they work towards their goal of self-replication. The strangeness and fascination in the seeds of plants as familiar as oaks and dandelions, and as curious as figs and hellebores, will be revealed using the gorgeous image-stacked photographs of Robert Llewellyn.
