Somerville Garden Club - Nov. 18 - Botany for Gardeners

Our speaker will be Judith Sumner who will be giving a talk called Botany For Gardeners. Judith is a botanist and frequent lecturer for botanical and horticultural organizations and has taught at the college level, and at botanic gardens including Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, and Garden in the Woods. Her talk is aimed at gardeners who want to understand more about how plants grow. Judith will also cover fertilizers, symbiotic relationships in the soil, and specific adaptations in garden plants. Don’t be intimidated by the topic, Judith is a fantastic speaker, entertaining, humorous, and her talk is bound to be stimulating.

The meeting is started by announcements and a round table discussion where attendees can ask questions about their plants and gardens. After the speaker, there’s a raffle of donated plants, books, and sundries that ends the meeting. We hope that you can attend!
