Urban flora can be found growing in unlikely places, from city sidewalks and highway medians to lawns, and other man-made structures. Most of these plants are introduced and many are considered weeds. Registrants of this two part New York Botanical Garden online course on May 20 and 27 from 10 – 1 Eastern time will hear more about their origins, life cycles, and benefits to the urban landscape while learning how to identify them in the field. The instructor is Nancy Slowik, and the cost is $125 for NYBG members, $125 for nonmembers. If the class is filled, you may register free for a place on the waitlist, or for any additional sections which may be scheduled. Visit https://www.enrole.com/nybg/jsp/index.jsp?startDate=yes
