Ever wondered, "What's that plant?"
This practical and engaging 3-hour workshop is perfect for gardeners, nature lovers and anyone who wants to identify plants with greater confidence. Whether you're exploring the countryside or looking more closely at the plants in your own garden, you'll learn the skills needed to start recognising common flowering plants with ease.
During the workshop you'll discover the key features used to identify plants, including leaf shape and arrangement, flower structure, stems, fruits and other distinctive characteristics. We'll introduce simple botanical terms, show you how to use field guides and identification keys, and share practical techniques that make plant identification straightforward and enjoyable.
Through guided observation and hands-on activities, you'll learn how to look more closely, ask the right questions and tell similar species apart. By the end of the session, you'll have a solid foundation in plant identification and the confidence to continue exploring the amazing variety of plants growing around you.
