In this New England Wild Flower Society introduction to botany, you will learn from Dr. Nancy M. Eyster-Smith the basics of plant anatomy and physiology and study the fundamentals of the plant kingdom through slides and live materials. Microscopic study will provide an up-close look at roots, stems, leaves, and their component tissues. You will examine flowers, fruits, and seeds and discuss pollination, fertilization, dispersal, and germination, with an emphasis on the relationship between plant form and function. The six session course will be held Thursdays, September 29 – November 3, at Garden in the Woods in Framingham. $200 for NEWFS members, $250 for nonmembers. Register online at www.newfs.org.
