Exhibition summary

This is a course titled 'It's Worth Knowing Dendroflora, or a Tree Identification Course' designed for adults and seniors. It consists of four seasonal meetings aimed at teaching participants how to identify trees throughout the year by examining their bark, wood, leaves, and seeds, and understanding their ecological value and uses.

Curatorial context

The course 'Dendroflorę warto znać, czyli kurs rozpoznawania drzew' (It's Worth Knowing Dendroflora, or a Tree Identification Course) offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and identifying tree species. Led by Łukasz Karabowicz, an educator with a passion for botany, the course aims to reawaken the lost art of recognizing local trees, a skill common among past generations. Participants will learn to 'read' trees by examining their trunks, bark, and branches, and by engaging multiple senses. The curriculum spans four distinct meetings, each focusing on a different season: the winter meeting explores dormant trees and their survival strategies; the spring meeting delves into new growth, scents, and tastes; the summer meeting focuses on seeds and leaf interiors; and the autumn meeting examines leaf colors, shedding patterns, and identification in varied foliage. The course emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on identification skills within the Royal Łazienki gardens, encouraging participants to discover the intrinsic value of trees beyond their aesthetic presence in the landscape.
