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. In this three part online New York Botanical Garden class to be held on Tuesdays, August 4 – 18, from 10 – 12, we will hear more about their origins, life cycles, and benefits to the urban landscape while learning how to identify them in the field. Nancy Slowik leads, and the course is $125 for NYBG members, $139 for nonmembers. Register at www.nybg.org.
