A Botany Year at Drumlin Farm and Broadmoor: Winter (3 Months)
Description
From the tiniest buds to the showiest blooms, plants shape every landscape around us. Over three monthly sessions, a naturalist will guide you through the botanical phenomena of winter. Get familiar with the science behind morphology, growing conditions, biology, and more.
Each session begins indoors before heading outside for at least 90 minutes of fieldwork, building your plant identification skills and ecological understanding alongside a community of fellow nature enthusiasts. By the end of the season, you'll have the skills and knowledge to look at winter landscapes through new eyes.
