Channel: Vancouver Island Regional Library
Date: 2023-06-06

Find out what plant names are telling you, plus explanations of the binominal system of nomenclature. We will also cover why plant conventions are no longer being followed and what this means. This presentation is filled with lots of fun facts about plants!

Jane Kerr, an accomplished local, Master Gardener has found that researching plants brings as much joy as growing them, and her spirit remains optimistic despite some plant failures over these past years, mostly due to our crazy weather.

Jane is a past Director of the Calgary and Comox Valley Horticultural Societies. She is currently a Director for the Vancouver Island Master Gardeners Association as well as their North Island District Planner and a Mentor for interns at VIU.
