NORWICH – From 5–7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept.16 in the Cornell Cooperative Extension kitchen, community members are invited to experience the basics of botany at newly formed program titled 'Botany For Everyone!'

One of two new horticulture classes offered this month at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Chenango County, the two-and -a-half hour class is the brainchild of Patty Catalano, Horticulture Educator for CCE of Chenango County.

The class will cover the basics of plant families, plant and flower parts and a little bit of taxonomy (plant names) as well.

“It is a basic class meant to appeal to beginners who would like to know more about the science behind what goes on in their gardens,” said Catalano.
