Is anyone interested in going beyond the wildflower field guide?
On May 4 or 5 from 9:30am to 4:30pm, participants will join naturalist Richard Aaron in a workshop that is really two workshops in one. In addition to learning how to identify springtime flora, participants will go beyond the field guide to delve into interesting aspects of those plants’ natural history, ecology, lore, and uses.
Following a brief classroom session, the remainder of time will be spent exploring the Arboretum’s trails engaged in hands-on exercises and stimulating discussions. By the end of the day participants will have learned more about spring wildflowers than they ever imagined.
Participants should bring lunch, their favourite wildflower field guide, and a hand lens if they have one.
The registration fee is $75 plus HST and the registration deadline is April 27. For more information or to register call The Arboretum at 824-4120 extension 52358.
