Do the Woody Plants classes have to be taken in a certain order?
The Woody Plants classes build on each other in the sense that they are a string of pearls, adding information one pearl at a time to the string. Your cohort will most likely begin Woody Plants classes in the Spring I term, and will proceed through the five seasonal Woody Plants classes in turn. The number of hours spent outside of class is a function of your ease at memorization. You learn approximately 10-12 plants each week with their characteristics and cultural requirements; instructors usually require you to create and maintain a notebook with a page for each plant-a very helpful device for both memorization and future reference.
