Brooklyn Botanic Garde...

Here, we take a rapid look through the amazing collection of Eastern US native trees! The collection of plants in the Native Flora Garden, at the @brooklynbotanic is a great place for a budding botanist to cut their teeth, before heading into the field! Without a teacher, having an accurately labeled collection of plants is the most valuable aid to learning new species, and the diversity here is amazing! Rather than having to travel hundreds of miles to find all of these species, you can observe them in a single day!

Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers an enormous selection of classes to the public! I teach Tree Anatomy and Physiology, Tree Health and Structure, Winter Tree ID, Woodlore, and Tree ID 101. Visit their website to check them out!
