About the event

Advanced Plant Identification - 4-Part Series
This four-part plant identification series will introduce participants to the steps required to positively identify plants.

About this Event

Plant identification is based on close observation of morphological characteristics, contextual clues and lots of practice. This four-part advanced plant identification series will introduce participants to these concepts and the associated vocabulary of the plant scientist.

The class follows the contents of Harrington’s “How to Identify Plants” (1957); a copy of which is provided to each registrant. This concise text contains a comprehensive vocabulary of terms and illustrations to help clarify concepts.

A packet of supplemental educational materials will also be provided to each registrant.

About this Event

During each 4-hour classroom event, participants will engage in a participatory lecture, and have plenty of time for Q & A. The final session will be a hands-on workshop that will include graduates from previous courses. Each session will build on the previous; attending the entire series is recommended.

Classes are four consecutive Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Bio-breaks are factored into the schedule for each day! Bring a bag-lunch (refrigeration and a microwave are available).
