LOCATION: 213 Raymond George Way, Weatherford, TX 76086, United States

SPEAKER: Carol Clark

Just Enough Latin to Go Plant Shopping:

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 included.
