Come explore the beauty of botanical language with NPSO President, Steven Yeager. Learn the botanical terminology you will need to identify plants growing in your garden or local forest! Designed to give participants the skills to understand botanical descriptions in herbal texts and gardening books, and become familiar with important vocabulary for the identification and appreciation of plants. We’ll investigate plant anatomy and plant family characteristics. The class will include a slide show and short plant walk time permitting. Please bring a hand lens (loupe) if you have one.
