Botany Guide 101
Learning about plant identification has changed the way I view WashU: I feel the huge fuzzy magnolia buds in the winter between the DUC and Simon Hall, I imagine the corridor of chinkapin oaks that will eventually mature between Graham Chapel and Brookings Quad, and I brag to my friends about the clone of the original Brookings Basswood that I helped plant in a corner of the quad. By teaching about tree identification for our spring blooms, I hope to spread that perspective that has opened my eyes to the vibrant world of plants.
