9:30am to 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.
This includes an overview of the various fruit forms (drupes, hips, achenes and pomes) of the Rose family, and we will delve into the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area.
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.
