The Torch: The Great Courses Podcast

Learn the Secrets of the Plants All Around You

Stepping outside, we can’t help but notice the natural world all around us. Discover how to do more than just notice it. Join Dr. Catherine Kleier, a Professor of Biology at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, to dive into the fascinating world of plants and learn how to see the world as a botanist does. Natural selection has allowed plants to adapt to the widest possible range of environments all around the globe.

Learn to speak the language of the plants around you, transforming every trip outside into an adventure.
