Native New England Shrubs


Adult Enrichment / Out & About -
Fall 2024

Shrubs are a key part of our New England landscapes. We will take a close look at 10–12 common native New England shrubs such as high bush blueberry, silky dogwood, and staghorn sumac, as well as a few non-native invasive shrubs. The class will focus on plant identification as well as fun and interesting natural history. We’ll see a plant that can be used to make a lemonade-like drink packed with vitamin C and a plant that the Chippewa used to produce a remedy for craziness.

Please note: Children ages 10+ are welcome to register if accompanied by a registered adult. Meeting location will be emailed upon registration.
