February 12, 2021 Organizing the Garden Shed, Jan Swammerdam, George Jackman, Walking Through the Garden at Night, Desert Gardens of Steve Martino by Caren Yglesias, and Celebrating William Mason
Today we celebrate the man who discovered the queen bee had ovaries, and he also said the head of the colony was not a king - but a queen.
We'll also learn about the family behind the ubiquitous Jackman Clematis - it's the one with the large dark purple flowers with yellow centers.
We hear words from Florida's pioneer naturalist: Charles Torrey Simpson.
We Grow That Garden Library™ with a magnificent book about Desert Gardens - this is one of the best.
And then we'll wrap things up with the sweet story of a gardener poet who made one of the first romantic gardens.
