Join NPSOT-Wilco’s online chapter meeting on Thursday, April 8, 2021, at 7:00 pm, when Carol Clark will present Just Enough Latin to Go Plant Shopping. (Registration instructions are later in this post.)
We give away a book at every meeting — about native plants or the meeting topic — to one randomly chosen meeting attendee!
About the topic: The scientific names of plants might seem like a giant pain to learn, but they carry more useful information than you might think. Learning just a few common roots for form, size, color, origins, shape and habitat can help you decipher those names and choose the right plant for the right place, save you time and money, and lead to a whole new avenue of enjoyment in your gardening life. We’ll keep it fun and simple, so don’t let your fear of Latin keep you away. Reference handouts are at these two links in our Dropbox:
About our speaker: Carol Clark is an amateur botany enthusiast, a Texas Master Naturalist, and longtime member of the Native Plant Society of Texas. She and her husband own and operate Clark Haven, a wildlife preserve and custom wildflower seed business in Cooke County. Carol grew up with a nature photographer father and wildlife artist brother, and has spent much of her life looking around in the great outdoors. Her favorite things to do are leading discovery walks in local natural areas, and finding and photographing interesting plants.
