Join the Ambler Arboretum and the Upper Dublin Parks and Recreation Department for Virtual Temple Talk — Intro to Botanical Latin on Thursday, January 12! Register online here.
Level up your gardening game by learning the scientific names of plants! You too can mystify your friends and family with words like Liriodendron tulipifera and Ceratostigma plumbaginoides.
While you may not learn the scientific name of every plant in your garden, we will talk about the history of scientific names, why they are important, some of the more common words used, resources for finding out the scientific names of your plants and how to pronounce them.
