In 1834, when renowned British botanist John Lindley wrote "A Ladies Botany," he did so to block women from, not welcome them into, the academic world of horticulture. Learn how women figured it out anyway and managed to contribute to science, influence public taste and advance their own craft. The Victorian artists featured range from rebels to spinsters, suffragettes to missionary wives and are highlighted with strikingly beautiful imagery and humor.



Lesley Parness has worked in public gardens here in America and abroad for the past four decades. She served as a Board Member of the New Jersey Commission on Environmental Education and the Alliance for NJ Environmental Educators. Lesley is a Founding Member of Garden State Gardens, a non-profit consortium of NJ Public Gardens, of which she was both Vice President and President. 

Currently, Lesley is a member of the Herb Society of America, the Council on Botanic and Horticultural Libraries and the Garden Communicators Association. She writes a column for Gardener News Magazine, lectures throughout the Metropolitan area and consults with botanic gardens in the areas of communications and library services. 

Keyport Garden Club was thrilled to welcome Lesley Parness to Keyport for Day Two of Keyport GardenWalk!
