This course begins where the core course “Native New England Shrubs” leaves off. Using Garden in the Woods as our field site, we learn about 15 shrubs not covered in the core course, including Cephalanthus occidentalis (buttonbush), Prunus maritime (beach plum), Vaccinium macrocarpon (large cranberry), and spicebush (Lindera benzoin). Course emphasizes both identification and natural history. Collect leaf samples for further reference. Prerequisite: Native New England Shrubs or equivalent.
