About this Event
In this field-identification course learn about the foliage and flowers of mostly herbaceous plants. Join Trent Miller, Natural Heritage Trail Manager, to explore the many habitats along the Natural Heritage Trail. Learn how to use a key to help with plant identification. For certification, both spring and fall classes are required. You will receive the following books in the first herbaceous class you take first: Porcher and Ranier, Wildflowers of South Carolina, Elpel, Botany in a Day. Location: SC Botanical Garden; Conference Center, lower level.
Please Note: All classes are open to the public. If you would like to pursue the South Carolina Native Plant Certificate Program, all core classes plus 4 electives are required for completion.
Some classes in the certificate program include fieldwork and can be physically demanding. We may use hiking trails with moderate difficulty. Participants must be in good physical condition and able to hike 1-2 miles without difficulty or assistance over terrain with steep sections, where footing will be uneven, with frequent tree roots, rocks, muddy areas and fallen tree trunks to climb or step over. Sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots are required.
