SUMMARY:Fall Wildflowers of the Georgia Piedmont
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Chafin\, botanist \n\n\n\nOur gardens\, roadsides and meadows are aglow with color in the fall. In this class\, students will learn to recognize the most common fall-blooming wildflowers in the Georgia Piedmont and be introduced to basic botanical terminology for identifying and describing fall-flowering plants\, with an emphasis on plants in the Aster (composite) family. We will then apply that knowledge to plants in the field\, learning to recognize families\, genera and species based on characteristics readily observable in the field.

We will discuss the environmental factors that influence the vegetation of natural communities\, their ecology and how climate change affects their composition and distribution over time. Natural communities across the state – what makes them special and how to identify them – will be covered as part of this class. This class will be taught virtually over a period of several sessions. \n\n\n\nCourse Structure\n\n\n\nThis course consists of four elements: three live\, online programs and a set of self-paced review exercises. \n\n\n\n\nPart 1 – Online Class Session: Foundations of Natural Communities (2 hours) July 14\, 6 – 8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 2 – Online Class Session: Exploring Natural Communities (2 hours) July 16\, 6 – 8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 3 – Self-Paced Learning Exercises (1-2 hours of content)\n\n\n\nPart 4 – Online Class Session: Follow-up Q&A Session (2 hours) July 20\, 6 – 8 p.m.

SUMMARY:Plant Taxonomy: The Identities of Plants
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina Sewell\, botanist \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\nTaxonomy is the fundamental branch of science that names and classifies all elements of the world around us\, including living things. A plant taxonomist 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 morphology—the forms of plant parts. In this multi-session virtual course\, students will focus on the diverse morphological characteristics of plants (including descriptors of leaves\, flowers\, roots\, etc.) and their utility in identifying unknown plants. Students will also survey the history\, principles and practices of plant taxonomy as a discipline and be guided through the process of plant identification via dichotomous keys. It is recommended\, but not necessary\, that students take Basic Botany before this class. \n\n\n\nCourse Structure\n\n\n\nThis class consists of four elements: a series of pre-recorded introductory videos; at-home exercises exploring plant anatomy\, collecting and dichotomous keys; an in-person lab session or virtual lab session; and a wrap-up discussion session through Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nPart 1 – Introductory Video Lectures – content released March 4\n\n\n\nPart 2 – At-Home Exercises – content released March 4\n\n\n\nPart 3 – Plant ID Lab – choice of in-person session March 28\, 10 a.m.–noon or 1–3 p.m. OR virtual session March 30\, 6–8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 4 – Online Discussion Session – Zoom March 31; 6 – 7 p.m.\n\n\n\n\nThis class is a core class for the Certificate in Native Plants.

SUMMARY:Basic Botany: Fundamentals of Plant Biology
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina Sewell\, botanist \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\nExplore the biology of plants in this introduction to general plant anatomy\, morphology\, physiology\, evolution and development.

SUMMARY:Groundcover Restoration - Canceled
DESCRIPTION:Heather Brasell\, environmental educator \n\n\n\n\n\nThis 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 and projects surveyed in this class will include: minimum understory management (thin and burn)\, economy understory restoration (thin and burn with limited use of supplemental seeds)\, high-quality seed mix for pollinator gardens\, conversion from turf grass to meadow and wetland rehabilitation. Please note that this class is located outside of the Athens area.

SUMMARY:Teamaking and Tea Spilling: The Story of Yaupon Holly\, Georgia’s Native Beverage Plant
DESCRIPTION:Ben Long\, PhD candidate\, UGA Department of Genetics \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCalling 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 share how his research at UGA will help bring yaupon back into Southern cups as a delicious and sustainable source of caffeine. During the workshop\, participants will be invited to crush roasted yaupon leaves by hand\, watch them be brewed\, and finally share in a pot of traditional yaupon tea! Cups will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to bring their own mug to enjoy this unique beverage.
