Botany

Botany

We meet on Fridays at 9:15 AM from May 5 to July 21, 2023. The exception is June 23 when the excursion is two days earlier, on June 21 in consideration of the Botany BC event, June 22-25.

The following schedule showcases what we consider to be particularly good places and times for flowering plants. Bring water, lunch, and appropriate clothing/footwear for the day (we are usually done by 2 PM). Meeting time and place will be identified the week before each event, usually by email to those interested.

Email botany@okanagannature.org for further details.
