Event Description
Over the course of several months you will learn to identify approximately 300 plants. For each plant you will then explore its ecosystem of origin, and under which conditions it thrives best, or just marginally survives. You will learn how it adapts to our environment, and how you can provide it with optimal care. Finally you will learn about its non-ornamental uses, such as food, medicine, fiber, etc.
Over three seasons (April - September), plants are viewed in garden settings, focusing on ecologically sound and successful plant combinations.
This course is open to all who wish to learn more about plants. No prior knowledge or experience required.
Instructor: Catherine Dale.
