Host Casey Hentges dives into the fundamentals of botany to help you understand how plants move through the landscape. Learn how plants distribute their progeny to avoid competition for sunlight and water, compare modes of travel—from wind-borne samaras and mechanical seed pods to animal hitchhikers and water currents—and find out how seed dispersal patterns can impact your home garden planning. #OklahomaGardening #BotanyBasics #SeedDispersal #GardeningTips #PlantScience #OSUExtension #5303 Airdate: 7/18/2026 Questions?
