INTRODUCTION TO PLANT IDENTIFICATION
A hands-on LIVE HYBRID class that walks you through the different ecosystems and plant communities of Southern California.
Learn how to identify over 50 plants and 10 common plant families (both edible and poisonous), so that no matter where you live or travel in the world, you can spot your herb friends and know their safety.
You will also learn:
-Over 50 medicinal, edible & poisonous plants and their uses
-The basic botanical terms used to describe leaves, trees, & flowers
-10 of the safest and most deadly poisonous common plant families
-Key features of the ecosystems in southern California & beyond
-The principles of ethical wild harvesting and protecting native plants
This is a hybrid online/outdoor class, with light hiking of up to 2 to 3 miles per class. Students will have the option to attend 100% in person OR be able to attend FULLY online.
IN-PERSON CLASSES will meet at a different location each week in the Santa Barbara area. The schedule, locations, and driving directions will be emailed out the week before class starts.
ONLINE CLASSES will meet for one LIVE zoom class each week. Students will also spend 2-3 hours each week of independent study watching videos of plant profiles, and a weekly hike in the wilderness to identify local plants in the field.
