Thursday, September 20, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm, and Saturday, September 22, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm – Asters and Goldenrods

by

In late summer and early fall, asters and goldenrods come into their own. In this two-session New England Wild Flower Society class, the morning discussion will include a presentation of the many asters and goldenrods in our region, focusing on their ecology and identification features. We will also examine specimens from the Society’s herbarium. Later we’ll visit a nearby natural area to identify the asters and goldenrods growing in the fields, woodlands, and wetlands. In the field, we’ll look carefully at the differences that characterize these species. Bring a hand lens and a bag lunch. Ted Elliman leads the sessions at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on September 20 and 22. $86 for NEWFS members, $104 for nonmembers. Register online at www.newenglandwild.org.
