Sedges Have More Than Edges - The Incredible Life of These Grass-Like Plants

Join botanist and ecologist Nathanael Pilla for an exploration of sedges, fascinating plants that are often mistaken for grasses. While these plants are commonly identified by their distinctive triangular stems—a feature captured in the memorable phrase "sedges have edges"—there's much more to discover about them. This presentation goes beyond that simple characteristic to reveal the complexity and importance of these overlooked plants in our natural world. This event is perfect for nature enthusiasts, curious learners, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of local plant life. The program runs for one hour and takes place at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Admission is $10 per person. Whether you're a gardener, a naturalist, or simply someone who enjoys learning about the living world around you, this educational session offers an engaging introduction to an underappreciated plant family.
