Tree, Shrub, and Perrennials Identification Course – Swarthmore College PA

May 29, 2010

The Tree, Shrub, and Perennials ID Course arrives at the Scott Arboretum in Swarthmore PA.

Have you always wondered what kind of tree that was?  What kind of bush or plant is flowering like that?  Or even where will this plant fit into our landscape?

Now you have the opportunity to learn everything you wanted to know with the Tree, Shrub, and Perennials Identification class in Swarthmore PA.  This class is being offered through the Penn State Extension Green Industry Education Committee.  The Green Industry Education Committee (GEIC) is comprised of Extension educators that work with the Green Industry in Southeastern PA.  They offer a full calender of courses throughout the region including the Tree Tenders teaching programs.

Locally, they are offering the Tree, Shrub, and Perennials ID Course in June.  This course is being taught on three consecutive Tuesdays beginning June 8th through the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College in Swarthmore PA.  The course itself will cover 25 species per session with detailed species information and landscape use.

This is a great chance to get to know our local trees and plants and learn more about the environment surrounding us.  For more detailed information, you can contact Cheryl Bjornson.
