For over 25-years I made a living farming nursery stock,
trees, ornamental plants, and perennials. One of my key and critical suppliers
was Westminster Nurseries.
I grew-up almost next to the Westminster Nurseries
production fields and green houses and spent many an entire day roaming
Westminster Nurseries’ fields.
And actually, that is how I learned the Latin names of most
plants. The plants in the fields were always identified by its Latin name and
as a child I never really thought much of it. I just figured that was the
plant’s name… It was not until later in high school, when I took Latin classes,
that I learned more about the Rules of Linnaeus and taxonomy…
I always liked the Westminster Nurseries’ calendar; not only
because I liked the pictures, but I also liked the recipes and home hints…
