Exploring Botany, in Some Way, Everyday
My name is Marc Williams and I will be facilitating our journey. This website is a continuation of the work of the amazing ethnobotanist , explorer, and humanitarian Frank Cook. Frank conducted this class through email for 9 years and so we are excited now to bring this course online.
In our class, we focus on understanding the characteristics and classifications of plant families. We believe that familiarity of these patterns within the plant world can allow one to demystify the "green wall" and begin to have confidence in the usefulness and abundance of plant resources all around us.
You can begin the journey now by going to the Plant Talks section of our website. You may also refer to our Resources page for more info on useful books and websites.
Accompanying text and photos can be found here. Look forward to more educational videos and media to come.
