Delve into the mysterious world of our lower plants. These fascinating organisms belonging to the Plant Kingdom (mosses and liverworts) and Fungus Kingdom (lichens) form part of our garden ecology. They contribute towards biodiversity, maturity and beauty almost everywhere. Join our guest expert John Wells to learn about the ecology and structure together with some tips on how to identify various species. John will describe why certain species only occur in particular habitats, their purpose in nature, their usefulness in measuring atmospheric pollution and more. This session will include some classroom time followed by a walk around RHS Garden Wisley to see some examples in situ. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and footwear.
