About this Event

Whether you’re a budding botanist or simply enjoy wandering through Green-Wood, you’ve likely noticed a remarkable diversity of plants at every turn. Learning how to identify them can seem daunting, but with a little guidance and close observation, you’ll be making connections in no time!

Join environmental guide Molly Nash Rouzie for a tour of the Cemetery’s natural wonders and an introduction to plant identification. During this 90-minute walk, you’ll learn which characteristics help botanists make sense of the plants they encounter and come to appreciate the role of these “green neighbors” in our ecosystem.
