Description: Field Botany and gardening are often looked at as two distant sciences. Join Matthew Ross, Executive Director of The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park, as he outlines ways in which plants in their natural habitat can provide valuable lessons for gardeners, horticulture professionals, and ecologists. From determining the perfect plant combinations to playing botanical CSI, Matthew will walk you through various ways in which field botany can play a vital role in determining the success of plants in a cultivated setting. Gardening tips, techniques on how best to maximize your time spent in the field, and how to apply the lessons learned to your own garden will also be shared!
