Basic botany

Plant ID can be a daunting subject so why not start with the basics on our 1 day field-based course on beginner’s botany? A brief overview of the main families of flowers that are found in the UK, and basic plant anatomy will be provided to aid identification. The course will take place on a typical semi-improved grassland site that is often encountered in an ecological consultancy context. We will cover a range of grasses, wildflowers and ferns within the course.
