Many people are apprehensive about identifying grasses. With a little practice, however, you can learn to recognize common native and non-native species using an everyday vocabulary and easy-to-see characteristics. Lauren Brown, co-author with Ted Elliman of Grasses, Sedges, Rushes: An Identification Guide, will provide an online Native Plants Trust introduction to these beautiful and abundant plants. You will require this book for the class. $53 for NPT members, $63 for nonmembers.
