Fall Botany 2024 (Fall Term 2024)

Participant Testimonials:

They arranged for perfect weather for each session - few can claim to do that!

Alice and Lynnwood have such a vast knowledge of their subject matter!  Very impressive!

Spring Wildflowers and Ferns - Tuesdays (Spring Term 2024)

Participant Testimonials:

There were always specific plants the Alice and Lynnwood planned to show us, but they allowed serendipity and our questions to lead the class as much as their plans.

They were always willing to answer questions and engage with participants. If they didn't know something, they referenced their field books which re-enforced how to use those resources.

Fall Botany 2023 (Fall Term 2023)

Participant Testimonials:

This is second course I've taken with Alice and Lynnwood and they are so knowledgeable, one can't help learning a lot!

The instructors know their strengths and play off of them, but both are great communicators, and because of their passion for the subject, are very responsive to questions, plus offer resources for further exploration.
