A useful way to distinguish ferns is by the degree to which the blade is dissected. About half of our ferns have two degrees of cutting, and they form the largest group when sorted in this way. Compare and contrast ferns of this group using projected photographs, charts and hands-on examination. We discuss vocabulary, frond morphology and field identification techniques. A field session follows to see the ferns in various habitat areas of the Garden. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens if you have one.
