Ben Long, PhD candidate, UGA Department of Genetics Calling all tea lovers! Did you know Georgia has its own native caffeine-containing tea plant? In this workshop, participants will learn how yaupon holly almost became the tea of choice for America, before British tea moguls smeared the reputation of the plant. Instructor Ben Long will also...
Sabrina Sewell, botanist Explore the biology of plants in this introduction to general plant anatomy, morphology, physiology, evolution and development. This course presents the fundamental information about plants upon which other courses in the native plant certificate program will build, particularly Plant Taxonomy. With an emphasis on relating form to function, it surveys the origins of...
Edward Morrow, ISA Certified Arborist In this program, homeowners and tree enthusiasts will learn simple frameworks to assess their trees, along with five basic tree prescriptions to ensure trees are protected and property is safe. Participants will learn the right tree care action steps to make better environmental and economic decisions.
Heather Brasell, environmental educator This class will visit a variety of sites to compare and contrast different groundcover restoration projects and management practices. With an emphasis on management decisions rather than on identifying specific plants, this course will discuss common challenges, successes and landscape restoration strategies while managing invasive plant species. The types of restoration sites...

Sabrina Sewell, botanist Taxonomy is the fundamental branch of science that names and classifies all elements of the world around us, including living things. A plant taxonomist specializes in determining groupings, relationships and ultimately, the names and identities of plants. This process utilizes pertinent data such as phylogenetics, phytogeography and phenology, but most essentially, plant...
