The morning lecture will consist of a presentation on fern history, taxonomy, morphology, ecology and landscaping ideas followed by a walk to the Marvin A. Eger Fern Garden. The afternoon lab session will focus on the details of fern taxonomy and morphology and involve close up examination of fronds from a large number of fern species as well as a spore propagation demonstration."
