Throughout our walks\, you will learn how to easily identify plants using scientific (and sometimes not so scientific) terminology. You’ll learn more about bi-nomial nomenclature and the ever-changing language used in plant identification and the world of plants. You will also learn about how society influences plant choices and designs in our neighborhoods. \nOur walk will begin at the Center for Urban Horticulture\, around the fountain in the Soest Garden. This will give us a chance to view a variety of ornamental plants used thoughtfully in different zones to help us identify themes and different uses of plants in the built environment. We will then transition to the Union Bay Bog Area and discuss the use of native plants in our area and how to integrate them into the landscape. While our walk isn’t focused on birds\, we will encounter some great neighbors while we’re out and about. After our whirlwind walk around these areas\, we will branch out into the nearby blocks to see how these spaces have influenced the neighborhoods around them. \nThis class is good for anyone new to the world of plant identification\, and plant fanatics as well. \nLIMIT: 15 (MAXIMUM 2 PER REGISTRATION) – FEE IS PER PERSON \n     URL:https://northwesthort.org/event/plant-id-walk-with-michelle-rau-morning-session/ LOCATION:Center for Urban Horticulture\, 3501 NE 41st St\, Seattle\, WA\, 98105 CATEGORIES:In-person Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northwesthort.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Michelle-Rau-Plant-ID-AM-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Northwest Horticultural Society":MAILTO:info@northwesthort.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240402T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240402T150000 DTSTAMP:20260425T192718 CREATED:20240302T153003Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240328T043535Z UID:10000161-1712062800-1712070000@northwesthort.org SUMMARY:Plant ID Walk with Michelle Rau - Afternoon Session - SOLD OUT DESCRIPTION:Hit the Registration Button to be Added to the Waitlist!\n\nGet to Know Your Neighborhood: Center For Urban Horticulture\, Union Bay Natural Area \nPlant Identification – and probably some bird talk with Michelle Rau and friends \n  \nJoin us as we begin to explore the common\, and not-so-common plants used throughout neighborhoods in the Puget Sound area.

We’re all Homo sapiens (“intelligent humans”)\, so it’s not too much of a leap for us to figure out that Rhododendron macrophyllum (literally “red-tree large-leaf”) is the Pacific rhododendron\, the state flower of Washington. This class will cover the basics (who\, what\, when\, where\, why and how) of Latin binomial plant names and provide tools for further study to help us make sense of what we grow in our gardens. \nA third of a century ago Daniel planted himself in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood and proceeded to construct a now notorious garden brimming over with thousands of specimens of cosmopolitan origin. He first joined the board of NHS in 2006 and has taught botanical Latin all over the Puget Sound region. Since 2020\, Daniel’s more than 50 Horticulturally Yours columns have been archived on the Northwest Horticultural Society’s website. Daniel is currently an NHS board member. \nLIMIT: 15 (MAXIMUM 2 PER REGISTRATION) – FEE IS PER PERSON \n  URL:https://northwesthort.org/event/demystifying-botanical-latin-with-daniel-sparler/ LOCATION:Center for Urban Horticulture\, 3501 NE 41st St\, Seattle\, WA\, 98105 CATEGORIES:In-person Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northwesthort.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/BotLat-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Northwest Horticultural Society":MAILTO:info@northwesthort.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
