Wildflower walk at Arboretum

GUELPH - Spring is here and the wildflowers have started to bloom!

Have you wondered what all the wildflowers are that you see?

Join instructor Christa Wise at the Arboretum on the University of Guelph campus  to explore the wonderous world of spring wildflowers at the Wildflower Workshop on May 2 from 9am to 4pm.

In-classroom learning will focus on foundational botany and an introduction to the plant families that might be encountered during the springtime.

Visiting Arboretum sites like Victoria Woods, Wild Goose Woods, and the closed to the public Nature Reserve, participants will be able to test their new knowledge with hands-on identification practice.

Going “beyond the field guide” the session will also explore the ecology and history of these spring-time blooms.

“This workshop is perfect for those looking to dive into the world of spring wildflowers and develop their field identification skills,” organizers state.

Registrants in attendance will receive a copy of the Spring Woodland Wildflower booklet.

Registration after April 24 is $108.
