Plant Taxonomy Warnborough College

Overview

Plant Taxonomy

• To the ill-informed, it is a low priority for gardeners, environmentalists or farmers to identify obscure parts of a plant; or place plants into a high level scientific classification such as a family or class. For anyone who understands these industries well however, it can be critical to have that knowledge.  Plant Taxonomy trains people to observe the finer details that separate one plant cultivar from another. It provides a framework that makes the process of identifying plants systemic.
• Leading horticulturists and botanists all over the world are all too aware of a serious decline in taxonomic skills and awareness.
• Anyone who works with plants needs to understand how critical plant taxonomy is.
• Without this level of taxonomic knowledge, you risk misidentifying plants. That can mean growing a less productive species; or even worse – growing a plant with higher levels of toxins and being unaware you are doing so.
