Tickets

Northwest Natura presents Botany 101 - Herbarium Journal with Wildflowers

Please join botanist, Jazmen Yoder, for this unique field trip that combines art and science in learning the botanical terms for patterns found in nature.

This course is designed to be memorable and engaging with hands-on activities and a fun walk through the woods collecting flowers for pressing and preserving in a large art pad provided to you with tuition.

Our activities will include:

Plant Identification (a stroll through the woods)

Flower collection and pressing

Arts and crafts with flowers

Herbarium journaling

Learning botanical terminology (Botany 101)

Labeling and defining patterns and observations.

There are so many ways to generally describe a leaf’s shape and growth patterns, and there are unique flower patterns to learn too! There are scientific terms that botanists use that you will learn in this class that will help you recognize plant families and individual species. I’ll make it fun and easy to learn.

12” spiralbound art pads and pens/pencils will be given to all individuals present. Arts and crafts materials will be available for you to use.

Please register via the website.
