Hi,
I took this course last year with Dr. Cameron. Even though the labs are every week, they are not intensive at all since all you have to do is walk around and take pictures or draw/label stuff that are set out. The only thing you may have to do before each lab is to study for a short quiz that you will have to complete at end of the lab. Not to worry though, the quizzes are done informally and will take you at the most a minute to complete. Also, the TAs are usually nice enough to help you out. The only difficult thing pertaining to the labs is the lab test that occurs at the end of the term. For this, you will know everything from the labs, including being able to label any picture/diagram you have seen.
Personally, I found the workload for this course to be fairly low, however, there is quite a bit of info you will need to know from lecture. There are also no assignments/midterms with the exception of two online quizzes so I found that I actually had more time during midterm time to study for other courses. A side note: the course may be slightly boring if you don't have the slightest interest in plants, so be warned!
I would keep this course if I were you, but I can't comment for sure as I have only taken orgo out of all the courses you have mentioned and also not at the same time as bio 2d. But if I were you I would keep it. Good luck!
