One that may be of particular interest to plant people is listed below: If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a carex and a grass, this is the workshop for you.
Carex workshop
Introduction to the taxonomy and ecology of sedges
June 21, 10am-4pm
Adult, $50
This program will provide a combination of herbarium and field observation of the challenging genus Carex. Participants will learn to recognize the features of these plants which are critical for identification. The second half of the program will take place outdoors, giving participants an opportunity to learn about the ecology and natural history of this fascinating group. Ideal for experienced botanists, but newcomers are also more than welcome. Instructor: Tyler Smith
To register for any of our courses or workshops call 585-1917.
The trilliums are in full bloom in the gardens at the moment and the yellow lady’s slippers have set their buds, if you have time to visit us in the next few weeks you’ll see a lovely show of spring flowers!
I hope to see you in the Gardens soon.Melanie
