Richard Aaron – The Secret Lives of Spring Flowers – Part 2
April 7, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
In this, the second part of a two-part series, we will continue to explore intriguing stories and little-known facts about our spring flora. Even if you missed Part 1, you will still enjoy this month’s talk. You will be introduced to over a dozen wildflower species not covered in the previous talk, while also learning about the rise and fall of a wildflower once found on drugstore shelves, how citizen science determined the toxicity of one species over a century ago, what makes garlic mustard so invasive and recipes ideas to reward your removal efforts, more surprising origins of wildflower names, and much more!
