Botanical Latin: Jennifer Bakshi

Plant names are often puzzling to people even after long horticultural experience. But understanding them can be important to growing successfully, not to mention simply knowing what you are talking about. This month, our speaker will explain why plants and indeed all living things are named as they are, and reveal some interesting stories behind the names in a presentation including photos. Ms. Bakshi is a Landscape Designer, horticulturalist and Master Gardener. She teaches Botanical Latin at the New York Botanical Garden and lectures frequently on gardening. She is a passionate gardener and is the owner of Urban Oasis Landscape Design, LLC. Her home gardens in Montclair, NJ are a showcase for her work and have been featured in the Open Days Tour of the Garden Conservancy.

Doors open at 6pm. Plant Sale 6:45pm. Program begins at 7:10pm
