Wildflower WorkshopThere will be a wildflower workshop at Morris Arboretum Tuesday.  Here's how the Arboretum describes it: "Taught by Dr. Ann Rhoads, Retired Director of Botany, Morris Arboretum 
Goldenrods and asters are the most conspicuous components of the fall wildflower display. We will start by examining the characteristics that define the Asteraceae, the family to which both belong. The bulk of our time will be spent using keys to identify species. Part of the course time will be spent indoors in order to use dissecting microscopes to become familiar with the fine details of these plants’ flowering heads. We will also explore the meadows at the Arboretum to see some species in situ. Please bring your lunch and something to drink. 
Tuesday, October 15 
10 a.m. – 2 p.m. 
Members: $54 Non-members: $60
