When herbaceous plants have died back and look "disenchanted," it is still possible to identify some of them by closely examining their dried leaves, stems, and persistent fruits and seeds. Join Frances Clark for a classroom exploration to investigate 25-30 weeds and native herbaceous species growing in disturbed habitats, fields, and woodland edges. Examine specimens close at hand to learn identification features and intriguing seed- dispersal mechanisms.  This course is valuable for those who are doing fall or winter plant inventories and for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and wants to be fascinated by plants year round.  Bring a 10x hand lens.
