It is Time to Turn a New Leaf! - The Diversity of Plants and Their Uses Are you tired of spending so much time in isolation? Are you ready to get outside away from the screen? Come out to Goodell Gardens as we celebrate the start of a new season with two outdoor sessions where we will explore the colorful, delicious, and healing world of plants! We will investigate edible and medicinal plants and learn some identification tricks for both garden plants and the native flora. The past year has definitely been a challenge for all of us, but there is a lot of hope on the horizon! Let's turn a new leaf together and celebrate the return of public programs as a result of the new vaccines. Session 1: Identifying Flowering Plants with Ease – Sunday, May 2; Monday, May 3 Session 2: Exploring Edible and Medicinal Plants – Sunday, May 9; Monday, May 10 Our special weekly programs provide an opportunity for visitors of all ages to come together to deepen their understanding of the connections between horticulture and the natural world. Sessions explore topics as diverse as bird conservation, field botany, ecology, human culture, and the creative arts. Each hour-long session features a stroll through the gardens and is designed to be interactive and engaging. We offer two time slots each week. Afternoon Sessions: Sundays from 2:00-3:00 pm Evening Sessions: Mondays from 7:00-8:00 pm Admission to Special Programs is free for members of Goodell Gardens, or a $5 suggested donation from folks who aren't yet members.
