## About

This is a one-hour outdoor walk through the conservatory conifer collection after the flowers have gone. The guide covers how to tell conifers apart, why they stay green, and how the collection is cared for. Guests are told to dress for the weather and bring warm boots. Staff plan to hold the walk as scheduled, and they make a weather call the day before or the morning of if it is unsafe. A change is sent by email and phone, with rescheduling details. The meeting point on the class info is the AEP Foundation Education Pavilion. Sarah Flecker, the community outreach coordinator, leads it. It is tagged All Ages.
