Event Description: Scientific names offer precision and accuracy when identifying plants, but they can also intimidate even the most seasoned gardener. Élan Alford, Mt. Cuba’s conservation scientist, breaks down the various components in a Latin binomial, including why plants are named in this way and what a Latin name can teach us about a plant. This introductory course leaves you well prepared for any magazine article, nursery catalog, or class with a strong Latin component. Join live to participate in our online learning community or watch after as your schedule allows. All registrants will receive a recording of the class with access to view the class for 30 days after the live session.
