Zach Ritchie, a conservation manager at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, will introduce participants to the early stages of Texas native plants. He will talk about how to recognize the morphological differences of select examples of seedlings. Participants will learn some new terms like “eudicots” and “monocots” and examine the contrasting cotyledons of these two classes of vascular plants after germination. NOTE: For those attending in person, doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a plant exchange. Those who attending via the Zoom platform are required to register in advance, to be admitted to the online meeting.
