Make Your Own Herbarium Voucher
795 State Rd West Tisbury MA 02575
Join PHA Curator/Assistant Director Emily Ellingson for a hands-on journey exploring the science and art of creating herbarium specimens. In addition to managing the living collection, Emily oversees PHA’s herbarium, a documented collection of dried plants that are used for scientific study, and are often viewed as works of art. In this two-session workshop, participants will first explore PHA’s living collection and learn how to document, collect, press, and dry plant specimens. Participants will return to the Arboretum a week later and learn the art of labeling and gluing their own specimens to archival paper. Participants will take home up to three herbarium specimens.
This is a two part workshop. Please plan to attend both sessions. All materials provided.
Please pre-register this class has a maximum of 10 participants.
