This course is suitable for beginners as well as those who already know many plants but don’t know why they do and who seek help in learning identification skills. Flatford is a great location for the botanist to explore the wild flowers of Suffolk. The range of habitats and the consequent variety of plant species is perfect. Adjacent to Flatford are marshes, swamps and grazing pasture. Further inland on the chalky, boulder clay there are ancient woodlands and species-rich hay-meadows while the coastal habitats support a completely contrasting flora along the sand and shingle spits, the mudflats and salt marshes.
