Workshop description:
The cabbage family of flowering plants includes many plants of economic importance that have become familiar to us as vegetables which we commonly consume (e.g. Cabbage, Turnip, Mustard, Cress, Water-cress, Brussels sprouts, Broccoli etc.), but there are many species which we are more used to seeing in naturalised settings across a wide variety of habitat types. Following an introduction to the family at the workshop, participants can expect a hands-on approach to learning and becoming familiar with the key identification features of a wide variety of species from this family both in the classroom and in the field.

Health & Safety:
Please be mindful that this workshop includes an element of teaching outdoors. Warm waterproof clothing and good walking footwear are essential. As a rule of thumb, it is generally expected that any participants who sign up for a workshop that involves spending time in the outdoors will own and bring the appropriate outdoor clothing.
