About the event

In this workshop we will start off by gaining an understanding of the basics of wildflower identification, breaking down the terminology and introducing you to the main families of our native wildflowers. Then, we will head out onto Goss Moor to seek out species to identify. 

Complete beginners to botany are very welcome. Those with more experience should also find this workshop useful in honing their skills.
