NYBG Presents: Here Today, Gone Forever:
Plant Extinction Now and Conservation Strategies for Tomorrow

Plants are essential to all human existence, yet the topic of plant extinction has received little comprehensive study and analysis until recently. In this two-day, online symposium, a group of international experts in biodiversity, conservation, and extinction will present the state of knowledge, trends, causes, and consequences of the plant extinction crisis. In addition, they will discuss strategies for preventing future precipitous declines in biodiversity. Each day, opportunities for asking questions and engaging in discussion with the experts will follow their presentations.

GCA LIBRARY COMMITTEE BOOK GROUP RESUMES THIS FALL!

Many a beginning gardener has puzzled over botanical nomenclature, and many have wondered if learning plant names is worth the effort. For those who have taken the trouble to learn them, Andrea Wulf's The Brother Gardeners will provide the perfect reward. Eighteenth-century England and the American colonies play host to the story of the trans-Atlantic (and later, global) plant trade, and vivid figures such as John Bartram, Peter Collinson, Carl Linnaeus, Joseph Banks, Philip Miller, and Benjamin Franklin provide the adventures and intrigue.
