Vegetables Roger Yepsen , a renowed botanical illustrator and author of two exquisitely rendered books, Apples and Heirloom Vegetables, will display his work in this illustrated talk on heritage vegetable and fruit varieties worthy of modern gardens. Mr. Yepsen s vividly realistic watercolors are sensually beautiful yet botanically correct at the same time. His painter s eye, when brought into the heirloom garden, offers rare insight into the biological diversity of our cultivated plants. Mr. Yepsen s lecture is the eighth annual memorial to, and celebration of, Lynn Richmond, Monticello s Vegetable Gardener from 1989 - 1993. Date and times are subject to change.
