Saturday, July 16, 11:00 am – 3:30 pm – Introduction to Native Ferns
Beautiful and flowerless, ferns are among the most ancient plants in the world. Learn to distinguish among the most common ferns of New England through lecture, microscopic examination of fresh plant material, and field study. By the end of this New England Wild Flower Society class, you will be familiar with most of the ferns you encounter in the woods. Bring lunch and a hand lens if you have one. The class will be led by Don Lubin at Garden in the Woods on Saturday, July 16 from 11 – 3:30, and is $60 for NEWFS members, $72 for nonmembers. (Garden Club of the Back Bay members note that Mr. Lubin will speak to our Club in November, 2016, on the topic of ferns, as part of our “Prehistoric Garden” year of programming.)
