Wildflower Identification for improvers
About this Event
This course will start in the classroom, where we will study plant specimens carefully and work our way through the keys to identity each specimen.
We will work as a group on specimens of the same species at any one time. We will focus especially on relatively simple flowers to help you gain confidence for working on your own.
Weather permitting, we will spend some time working outside in Tyland Barn Nature Park. We will work together or in pairs on the identity of selected species.
Many of the key identification features are what botanists use to classify plants into look-alike groups.
By the end of the course it is expected that you will have gained:
- A working knowledge of relevant botanical terms
- A deeper insight into flowering plant classification
- Confidence and effectiveness in using scientific keys to Identification, notably of the flowering plants
