Helpful notes
Questions, answered with care.
Start here for practical information about making a personal herbarium.
Do I need prior botanical experience?
No. Beginner courses explain vocabulary and techniques from the beginning, while advanced options identify the skills they assume.
What supplies should I have?
Most foundations use paper, cardboard, a pencil, labels, and clean plant material. Each catalog record lists its own suggested materials.
Are the courses self-paced?
Yes. Lessons are designed to be revisited, with suggested pauses for observation and practice.
How should I collect plants?
Follow local rules, avoid protected areas and rare plants, ask permission where needed, and collect only modest material from abundant sources.
Do courses promise a particular creative result?
No. We offer methods and examples, but every collection reflects its maker, materials, and place.
Can I save courses for later?
Use the favorite control in the catalog. Saved course IDs are stored locally in your browser and appear on Fallows.
Can I change a cart quantity?
Yes. The cart reads local selections and lets you adjust or remove each course before preparing an enrollment request.
