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. South Devon is a great location for the botanist to explore. It is renowned for its deep flowery hedge-banks in spring and its dramatic coastline with its steep cliffs and secluded bays, its limestone promontories and long shingle beaches. Add to this the contrasting flora of the culm pastures further inland and the swamps, fens, floating islands and wet woodlands of Slapton Ley Nature Reserve and we have a wonderful range of habitats and a fabulous variety of plant species.
