May 23 | UBC Botanical Garden Course: A Walk in the Woods
May 18, 2009
Learn the BC native plants (and some invasive plants) around us on a loop tour of the Botanical Garden’s forest. Let’s use our senses to understand the hidden forest.
We will look at plants from tall to small. Local First Nations used many of these plants. Understanding their knowledge creates a richer impression of plants.
