In this class we will survey five different and unique bio-zones and take a close look at the plant groups that live there. Students will become familiar with the most often seen plants as well as some of the rarest and most obscure plants in our area. The five Saturday sessions will each be held in a different San Diego County location through the spring to take advantage of the various bloom times.
