9:30am – 12:30pm – Amersham Museum, Old Amersham, HP7 0DP
Come and join a local botanist to learn about the large and diverse Rosaceae (Rose) plant family. In the first workshop, we will begin with an introduction to the concept of a plant family.
You will learn:
- what a plant family is, how it relates to classification and taxonomy, and why it is useful
- vegetative features (leaves and stems) of species within Rosaceae
- a few botanical terms to help describe these features
- how leaves and stems can aid identification
This is suitable for nature lovers and gardeners alike, and no previous botany knowledge is required! Bring a notebook and pen, and a hand lens or wildflower guide if you have them.
In partnership with Wild Amersham, this series of workshops for adults offers an introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’, by exploring the Rose family, Rosaceae. This is not a family exclusively of roses – it is also home to a diverse array of other plants. These include many of our domestic fruits (Cherries, Strawberries, Apples, Raspberries), as well as garden plants.
Tickets cost £15 – buy your tickets on the Amersham museum website.
