Meet Your Instructor
Hi. I’m Rachel Parks. I’m an elementary school teacher and homeschool mom. I’ve been teaching botany and plant identification kids and their grown-ups in NY and NJ for almost 10 years. Let me teach you how to recognize and remember plants so that you can get outside and start using the plants that are growing around you. It’s so easy even my 4-year-old students can do it!
