HOLIDAY PROGRAM Learn a Little Latin

This is a slightly serious, slightly irreverent look at the form of Latin used in botanical nomenclature. We will discuss the wacky ways some plants get their names and how to write them correctly, explore the perils of pronunciation, and learn a few handy dandy words that will help you decipher your
garden and bring out your latent Linnaeus. Cheryl Monroe is a licensed adult educator, devotee of science, constantly reading and taking classes to stay current with the latest in plant research, new plant introductions and design trends. Her one acre home garden contains 100 varieties of clematis, trees, shrubs, vines and perennials. Cheryl is a mom, a lover of corgi dogs, and an avid reader and knitter. Whenever possible she is a gardener. Her garden is
vibrant as is she.
