Advanced Botany Course
Learn how to recognize and use the eight most common plant families.

A decade ago, I was right where you are now. I knew a few plants, but wanted to know more so that I could feed my kids better food and use plant based remedies for everyday ailments.
I tried to study using the traditional methods, but with four kids and a new baby, I didn’t have time to dig into the complicated Botany books, and using field guides felt overwhelming and confusing.
Two years later, teaching Botany in the classroom motivated me to figure out how to simplify basic Botany and plant recognition for my students. Let me teach you what I teach my students. You’ll learn not only the Botany basics, but the eight most common plant families, found in North American gardens, and across the world!
But, you’ll know more than just how to spot them. I’ll teach you everyday uses for each plant group that you learn. Soon, you won’t be able to step outside without seeing a plant that you know, and better yet, you’ll know what to do with them when you find them.
Learn the plant recognition clues that I teach each day to my students so that you can recognize thousands of plants by sight!
