With its varied wetland habitats, including a pond, a stream, and a bog, Garden in the Woods is an excellent field site for examining shrubs that grow in and around wetlands. On Thursday, July 7 from 10 – 2, you will be introduced to 15-20 New England shrubs as well as to a handful of shrubs that grow in higher and drier habitats. Please bring lunch, a hand lens, and a field guide to shrubs, if you have them. The New England Wild Flower Society session, led by Roland “Boot” Boutwell, is $53 for NEWFS members, $64 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newfs.org/learn/our-programs/wetland-shrubs.
