March 25, 2021 Top 10 Botanical Discoveries During Covid, Nehemiah Grew, Adolf Engler, Mary Gladys Webb, Folklore and Symbolism of Flowers, Plants and Trees by Ernst Lehner and Johanna Lehner, and Violets

Today we celebrate the man remembered as the Father of Plant Anatomy. We'll also learn about a man who developed his own system fr classifying plant families and then we'll chat a bit about why knowing your plant families can be a beneficial skill to add to your gardening expertise. We hear a little poem today from an English writer who was born on this day - she led an incredible life and died young. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book about a great topic - Plant Folklore. And then we'll wrap things up with a little story about one of my favorite spring ephemerals: Violets.
