Certificate in Native Plants Event - Plant Form & Function II 

This course is a core course and provides 6 hours toward the completion of the Certificate in Native Plants program.  It is the second Botany course.  Looking together at plant cell types, tissue types, and major vegetative structures provides a background for understanding light and water requirements, soil preparation, composting, etc. We will also explore reproduction by examining some of the strategies and structures that plants use to continue life from generation to generation. Specific topics include: plant cell and tissue types, vegetative and reproductive organs, asexual reproduction, genetics, seeds, flowers, pollination, and fruits.
