On Wednesday, May 20, I attended the Master Gardener program at the Milwaukee UW-Extension offices.
It was "Chocolate in the Garden" by Laurie Weiss (BS Botany, MS Horticulture).
Laurie Weiss is the owner of Sandhill Farms Nursery in Hartford, Wisconsin.
She talked about the history of chocolate and we had a chocolate tasting.
Then she talked about chocolate gardens that feature chocolate-scented plants, plants with chocolate-colored flowers and/or foliage, and plants with chocolate in their name.
Entertaining, informational, and well worth attending.
She recommended the following books, which I checked out of the library and am currently reading:
The True History of Chocolate (1996) by Sophie Coe and Michael Coe
Foliage: Astonishing Color and Texture Beyond Flowers (2007) by Nancy J. Ondra and Rob Cardillo
