Learn about grasses in iowa at arboretum
Learn about the grasses that cover Iowa's native prairies, pastures and yards
during a workshop and walk at the Brenton Arboretum in rural Dallas Center from
10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Lynn Clark, an Iowa State University botany professor and co-author of the
Grasses of Iowa Web site, will share her photos of common and uncommon
grasses such as gamma, bluestem and brome, and give tips on how to identify
and find them.
After her talk, participants will walk through the arboretum's short and tall prairie
areas to identify an array of grasses.
