Members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae), both native and introduced, are among the earliest flowers to bloom in the spring. Using images and herbarium specimens, this New England Wild Flower presentation with instructor Ted Elliman will cover the identification features and habitats of a number of the species in this confusing and often overlooked group of wildflowers, including species of Arabidopsis, Boechera, Brassica, Cardamine, Draba, Lepidium, and several other mustard genera. The class will take place at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on Thursday, March 23 from 1 – 4, and is $46 for NEWFS members, $54 for nonmembers.
