Workshop at Amersham Museum: Exploring Rosaceae - the botanical rose family
Advertisement
In partnership with Wild Amersham, these workshops for adults offer a relaxed introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’, by exploring the Rose family, Rosaceae. Although this is the 2nd of the workshops, it can be attended as a stand-alone event.
We will begin with looking at how fruits develop from flowers, before discovering the remarkable diversity of fruit types found within Rosaceae. These include drupes, hips, achenes, pomes and the intriguing strawberry “false fruit”. You will never look at an apple or a raspberry in quite the same way again!
There will be plenty of fruits available for careful observation – and for tasting, once your work is done. We will finish by exploring the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area.
