Join Tower Hill Botanic Garden and Leslie Duthie on May 15 at 9:30 outside at the garden for a lesson in plant identification. instead of “Hey, what has yellow petals and is growing over there?” you will learn what to look at and how to determine leaf arrangement, pick out flower parts, and look at growth habits. Then, we will use our new skills in the inner park and a field guide to actually identify what that plant is! We will provide a field guide to use for each person. Bring a hand lens and your enthusiasm!

Leslie is the horticulturist/plant propagator at Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary in Wales, MA where she gardens for wildlife and habitat types. She has 40 years of experience in native plant gardens.
