This pictorial display will look at how plant seeds, pollen and fungi spores are released from their parent reproductive organs.

It’s often difficult for us to see or understand these respective mechanisms of action. i.e. exactly what is happening. This difficulty is, variously, because of the small size of components, the complexity of action or the high speed of movement.

The display will cut through the mysteries.

This display is in the Treehouse Visitor Centre, Wellington Botanic Garden ki Paekākā. You can visit anytime during opening hours (9am-4pm weekdays, 10am-3pm weekends and public holidays).

This display is created by Reg Harris who is a volunteer guide [botany] at Wellington Botanic Garden.
Reg delivers botany lectures for diverse audiences, delving into plant interactions, adaptive radiation, tropisms, and more. As a dedicated volunteer guide at Wellington Botanic Garden (WBG), he pioneered collaborations between WBG and Victoria University, organizing annual field labs for biology students. Expanding in 2023, the program engaged around two hundred students yearly. Reg, a former forester in Western Southland, managed vast beech forests and explored sustainable practices in Japan. His background in Regenerative Medicine, studies at the University of Otago and Australian National University, and post-graduate business studies at Victoria University enrich his interest in botany and sciences.
