Kuriger will help you investigate the taxonomic characteristics of deciduous, evergreen, and some herbaceous plants in winter. Students learn to use a dichotomous key and then identify a large inventory of twig and plant specimens before heading outdoors to practice these skills in the Garden’s living collection. Bring a bag lunch, a hand lens, and a copy of Fruit Key and Twig Key to Trees and Shrubs by William M. Harlow. Take home plant specimens. $102for Native Plant Trust members, $120 for nonmembers.
