Rob Paratley Roots: Social Network of Plants and Fungi—Just what is going on below the ground

April 3, 2025 6:30 pm

St. Michael’s Church 2025 Bellefonte Drive, Lexington KY 40503

We think of roots probing the soil for water and minerals at a distance from the center of the plant. However, far more is taking place unseen by us. Uncover a fuller understanding of how roots function and cooperate with other plants.

Rob Paratley has retired from the University of Kentucky but still teaches public programs through the UK Arboretum, Floracliff Nature Sanctuary, Lexington Tree Week, and other venues.

Future Planned Events

May 1, 2025  Return of the very popular Plant Exchange.
