The University of Pretoria held an open day in 2015 with a theme of "Fascinating Plants" hosted by the Department of Plant Science. Learners from various schools and their parents attended and were amazed by displays from different departments, including carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap. Students were able to examine these plants under microscopes, opening their eyes to new wonders. Medicinal plant science exhibited new cosmetics and research using Venus flytraps for cancer treatment. Biotechnology explored the genes that allow certain carnivorous plants to digest insects, while plant ecology focused on the local distribution of these unusual plants.
