Spring ephemerals capture our collective imagination every spring as they return and offer a brief — but ecologically important — addition to our woodland landscapes.

In this two part class, join Longwood horticulturalist and Senior Ecology Technician Pandora Young as they share knowledge of the environmental role played by spring wildflowers, as well as how to utilize these plants in your own landscape. From identifying our most common native wildflowers, to learning about spring pollinator and seed dispersal relationships, this class will cover topics related to the use of, appreciation for, and unique value provided by our native woodland wildflowers. Each student will receive a bare root plant of a native species to take home after class.
