The final fall installment of the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens‘ Family, Form and Function lectures and greenhouse walks with Carol Govan will take place Friday, November 18 from 10 – 12, when Carol speaks on The Gingers and Their Relatives. Did you know that gingers, bananas, birds of paradise, heliconias, cannas, and prayer plants are all closely related? See a presentation of their unusual adaptations and amazing flowers and stories, then visit them personally in the greenhouses. Wellesley Friends free, nonmembers $10. Register at 781-283-3094.
