Details

The queer botany series, taught by Kat Consler, invites LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to explore the plant world through a queer lens and inspires to bring this knowledge into their own botanizing and gardening practices. We will learn some basic botany and explore our relationship with plants. The classes are interactive and designed for experienced gardeners and budding plant nerds alike. Want to find the queerest plant in your neighborhood? This is the class for you!

Sign up for a single class or take the whole series. The classes are mostly stationary and will involve some walking on uneven terrain. This series is offered in partnership with the Pride Center of Vermont. Registration required.

The April class focuses on spring flowers and some plants’ ability to change their sex. How do we determine a plant’s sex anyway? We will dive into some fun research and take a closer look at plants that might be poking up through the ground right now.
