In this online, plant identification course you will learn at your own schedule. Longwood Gardens, one of the premiere public gardens in the world, is partnering with NC State University Department of Horticultural Science to provide a fully-online introduction to plants.

Through photo-stories, video presentations, online plant profiles, an e-book, flash-cards, vocabulary games, mystery plants and hundreds of beautiful images you will learn the key identifying characteristics of these plants and how best to use them in the landscape.

You will have access to the course resources 24/7 for the entire 6 weeks of the class and for 6 months after the course ends.
