Join Mary Priestely, Sewanee Herbarium Associate, and the editor and illustrator of the Friends of the Herbarium newsletter, The Sewanee Plant Press, to learn to identify our native spring wildflowers and other plants growing in our region. Sequatchie Cove Farm has quite a spectacular plant population, including a variety of spring wildflowers.  We will begin in the Studio with a basic introduction to botany and plant Identification followed by a walk on the farm to observe, identify, and talk about the early wildflowers that we see.

This a great class for beginners, but also an opportunity for the more experienced to walk the farm and observe the spring wildflowers of Sequatchie Cove Farm’s property, which includes extensive woodlands.

We are thrilled to also have Miriam Keener from the farm guiding us through the woods. With over 30 years of living here and an extensive knowledge of native plants, it’s a real treat to have her with us.
