November 18 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Our next Austin Chapter meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday, November 18 at 7PM (with social time at 6:30PM).
Location: Lakewood Clubhouse at 7317 Lakewood Dr, Austin, TX 78750.
The meeting will have a Zoom hybrid option as well. See below for registration link.
Carol Clark will be presenting “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.)
Carol Clark is an amateur botany enthusiast, a Monarch Watch Conservation Specialist, 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. She has been messing about with plants ever since she can remember. Her favorite things to do are leading discovery walks in local natural areas, and finding and photographing interesting plants.
You are welcome to bring seeds to swap and optionally a dish or beverage to share!
