Course description:
Join us for a day of rambling through field, forest and along shoreline with plant expert (read: encyclopedia) Richard Aaron, and learn to identify wildflowers – both native and introduced – from a naturalist’s perspective through discussion and hands-on activities. There will also be some mention of edible and medicinal uses of these plants, and a good dose of wildflower lore as Richard shares the meanings and origins of plant names. All this and much more as we learn to “track” the summer wildflowers.

Date and Time: Saturday August 21st, 10am to 4pm in High Park.
