Spring is an especially good time to learn woody plants, since many species will be clothed in their juvenile foliage and even flowers. Using The Gardens’ extensive living collections as a hands-on resource, we will focus on attributes and identification features of trees, shrubs, vines and groundcovers found naturally or in cultivation in Alabama. Attendees will examine and learn to identify approximately 20 plants whose key traits are evident in spring. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to determine which woody plants grow on your property or are best to use in your landscape.
