Learn how to recognize harmful species, understand their effects on the human body, and gain practical tips for staying safe while enjoying the outdoors. Perfect for gardeners, hikers, and nature lovers alike, this talk blends botanical insight with real-world medical perspective.
Dr. Megan Tresenriter is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with nearly a decade of experience treating everything from heart attacks to rattlesnake bites—sometimes all in one shift. In addition to her medical expertise, Megan is a dedicated gardener and plant enthusiast and has developed a deep appreciation for the botanical world—both its beauty and its dangers.
The Plant Forum has returned! So please bring some of your plants to share with members...
All you have to do is:
1) Bring a cutting or a potted plant to a meeting.
2) BEFORE you leave home, take a minute to print out a slip of paper with the common and scientific name of the plant, where it is native to (if you know that), what city it is growing in, your name, and a couple of sentences about your experience with the plant.
