Learn to identify wetland shrubs using branching patterns, bud and bark characteristics, habitat, persistent fruits, galls, and marcescent leaves. Garden in the Woods provides an excellent field site for study. We will begin with a short session indoors with instructor Roland “Boot” Boutwell, then head into the Garden for a close look at almost 20 native New England shrubs that grow in and around wetlands. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens if you have one. The class will take place Tuesday, January 10 from 10 – 2, and is $53 for NEWFS members, $64 for nonmembers.
