When Conservation and Horticulture meet, the resulting conversations are dynamic and forward-thinking, serving a verdant future where all plants and humans thrive together.

Join Director of Conservation Dr. Lea Johnson and Director of Horticulture Uli Lorimer for our new Lunch and Learn webinar series as they discuss how these disciplines inform and support each other. Whether you are a seasoned student or just beginning to learn with us, bring your lunch and pull up a chair.

What’s in a Name? How Plant Names Shape What We See: Both formal botanical Latin and common names reflect the history between humans and that plant. Learn how names allow us to trace plant origins and characteristics and inform how botanists and gardeners engage with plants, and why the words we choose change what we notice in the landscape.

A recording of this class will be available for 30 days after the program date.
