There is a late starter ticket available for both our autumn Botany evening classes at Maidstone and for autumn Botany evening classes at Canterbury. 

Alternatively, if you would like a taster session, please email [email protected] 

We are now taking bookings for next year's spring Botany evening classes at Maidstone and Canterbury, Plant Identification Days and summer school (see below). 

Please note that these are not beginners' courses.  You should be familiar with using botanical terms and botanical keys to identify specimens from a particular genus to species level.  The format of these courses is guided learning rather than teacher-led. 

If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
