Plant ID Study Group
Plant ID Study Group will not be meeting in November or December due to holidays landing on our usual dates. Sessions will resume January 28, 2016. We meet monthly at the Community Food Co-op’s north Bellingham store, 315 Westerly Rd, 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, in the upstairs meeting room. This qualifies for MG education credits. Coffee and snacks are available in the store. Internet is free. Bring samples of flowers or trees (branch with leaves) or just come to keep your local native and garden plant identification skills strong. Plant identification books are helpful (like Pojar and MacKinnon’s Plants of The Pacific NW Coast or Sunset) as well as a small magnifying glass and a small knife for cutting buds and blossoms.
Our leader, Karen Gilliam (384-4562, jkgilliam@gmail.com) and coordinator, Louise Granger (592-5316, rutroad@gmail.com) can field questions.
