New to the world of native plants? There’s no better way to study the region’s flora than in the field. In this New England Wild Flower Society four part class, we will learn to identify New England’s native plants by studying their habitats at Garden in the Woods. The class will examine family characteristics, growth patterns, and key identification features of flowers, leaves, and stems. Bring a hand lens and Wildflowers of New England. The Wild Flowers of New England sessions take place at Garden in the Woods Tuesdays, April 25 – May 16 from 6:30 – 9, and are taught by Neela de Zoysa. $136 for NEWFS members, $170 nonmembers. Register online at www.newfs.org. There is a second Wildflowers of New England class which begins on 4/26/17, during the day, from 10 am – 12:30 on April 26 – May 17.
