Native Ferns of North Georgia

Connie Gray, native plant specialist, Georgia Native Plant Society – Athens Chapter

This class will focus on the most common ferns found in the physiographic regions north of Georgia’s fall line and how to identify them. Beginning with an introduction to the biology and morphology of the ferns, you will learn features to help you distinguish between different species. The natural habitats of these different ferns will be discussed as well as using them in garden settings. Class time will be divided between classroom exercises and a field trip to the Dunson Native Flora Garden.
