  • Interesting short course that helps identify the different ways plants are structured, from their roots, through stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. It does not show us all the different species of plants, but includes various images that highlight how they grow and what to look out for. I was particularly interested in the various types of fruits and how they are classified botanically.

    As a beginner to learning the terminology used in this course It was alot to take in but I'm sure as time progresses I will be more familiar. Some of the content surprisingly I do recall from high school. There are more terms that I will study more but for now I'm satisfied with basics.
