Here are a few examples of what past students have said about our botany classes:

"By concentrating on vegetative characters [IBT] has created the plant taxonomy class that botanists have never had." - Steve L., Marshall Miller & Associates  

"This class/workshop was very thorough and the instructors were entertaining.  I look forward to attending additional classes next summer." - Matt V., JFNew

"This class helped me to differentiate between Solidagos and Asters, something I've struggled with for a long time.  This class was very educational with much needed comic relief." - Kelly B.

"The grasses, rushes and sedges were intimidating until I took this class." - Nathan W., Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians

"The class was informative, fun and unique.  It was very applicable to the common plants encountered in delineation. - Justin B., Burns and McDonnell

"I never realized the connection between nature and the flux capacitor." - Gary G., JFNew

"Great opportunity to refine, reinforce and extend your knowledge, no matter what your starting point." - Bryan H., DePauw University

"This class was very helpful, especially for someone with no experience with plants.  I certainly feel that I have a better comprehension and feel more comfortable in the field." - Michelle M., TBIRD Design Services Corporation

 "[The workshop] was a great reinforcer of some of the things I already knew, but also really helped me to better understand groups I'd never fully understood before (Cornus, Fraxinus, Graminoids)." - John L., The Nature Conservancy
