She will walk you to several of her favorite garden sites to observe and learn about the ancient order of Odonata. \nInstructor: Robley Hood\nRobley Hood’s interest in these insects began while living on the campus of Sewanee: The University of the South. After months of observing and photographing “odes\,” she asked the biology department chair for a campus species list—only to learn one didn’t exist. He challenged her to create it\, and she did. Since returning home\, she has begun compiling a similar list at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. \nLocation: The Hill Garden \n\n\n \n \nBecome a Friend of the Gardens and join us in our mission to protect\, nurture\, and share the wonders of Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
