Learn Plant Taxonomy - Plant Identification and Classification
Taxonomy is the science that underpins accurate plant classification and naming.
When you understand plant taxonomy better; you become more capable of accurately identifying plants. Sadly many university and college courses have downgraded teaching taxonomy despite protests from professionals in horticulture, agriculture and environmental sciences.
ACS has developed this course because of it's massive importance to employers and professionals.
Taxonomy is not taught often enough today - a fact widely recognised
by those who work with plants at all levels, from tradesmen to
professionals - gardeners, landscapers, nurserymen, crop farmers,
arborists and others - through to scientists, environmental managers and
farmers.
This course fills a very important need, and for those who do it;
provides a significant advantage over those who have not properly
learned the basics of plant taxonomy.

- Learn about identifying and classifying plants.
- Understand about applying your knowledge to determine the types
of plants that can be planted where - with the knowledge of
