Native Wildflowers
Mondays, March 6 & 13 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Pilgrim Church, Fellowship Hall / Cost: $20

This two-part program will focus on many of the native wildflowers and ferns in woods, meadows, and wetlands in the region. We will discuss the identification features, habitats, time of emergence, blooming, and other topics of both common and rare wildflower and fern species that grow in the Sherborn area and elsewhere in Massachusetts. We will also talk about good places to see many of these plants in the local area. At the time the program runs, the first flowers of spring will be just stirring from their long winter dormancy, an ideal time to start exploring.

Presenter: Ted Elliman was a Staff Botanist and Invasive Species Program Manager at the Native Plant Trust in Framingham. Now retired, he continues to teach Botany and Ecology classes for the Native Plant Trust, Massachusetts Audubon Society, Berkshire Botanical Garden, and other organizations.
