Join the Ecological Landscaping Association and the New England Wild Flower Society on Wednesday, September 11, from 1 – 3 at Garden in the Woods in Framingham for a morning stroll to enjoy the fall foliage as your host Elizabeth Farnsworth demonstrates exciting new tools for plant identification. Go Botany is the NEWFS’s new website that teaches botany and plant identification. This resource serves as a filed guide to help you identify and learn about 1,200 of the most common native and naturalized plants of New England.
This flexible and user-friendly tool helps you identify species based on whichever portions of the plant (leaves, flowers, winter buds, bark, etc.) you are able to observe at any given time of year. Once you identify the plant, you can see a wealth of information about it, including gorgeous color photographs, maps of its geographic range, diagnostic characteristics, and memorable facts. Go Botany is optimized for both desktop and tablet computers, so you can use it anywhere you have a web connection. $20 for ELA and NEWFS members, $25 for nommembers. For more information email ela.info@comcast.net, or call 617-436-5838. You may also register online at https://www.eventville.com/catalog/eventregistration1.asp?eventid=1010613.
