Winter Botany

Join us to investigate the taxonomic characteristics of deciduous, evergreen, and some herbaceous plants in winter. You will learn to use a dichotomous key and then identify a large inventory of twig and plant specimens before practicing these skills outdoors. Required Text: Fruit Key & Twig Key by William M. Harlow, available for purchase at our Garden Shop. Optional reference text: Winter Botany Field Guide & Key by William E. Kuriger, Ph.D.

Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes. Please visit this page to review this and other FAQs about our policies.
