Botanist, actor and social activist Will Geer founded the Theatricum Botanicum where he combined his acting and botanical careers by making sure that every plant mentioned in Shakespeare was grown there.

Carl Linnaeus
b. 5-13-1707; Sweden
d. 1-10-1778; Uppsala

Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carolus Linnaeus (Latinized) and Carl von Linné (after ennoblement), was a botanist, physician and zoologist. He is recognized as the “Father of Modern Taxonomy” and one of the fathers of modern ecology. Linnaeus’contribution to science is the binary nomenclature, a formal system of naming species with a Latin name in two parts: first genus, then a specific description, ie. Cornus florida for the flowering dogwood.

Carl Linnaeus quotes-
• “A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarters of the globe and yet will be at a loss to tell by what marks he detects them.”

Jane Loudon, née Webb
b. 8-19-1807; Birmingham, England
d. 7-13-1858

Jane Loudon is best known for illustrations and co-authoring gardening manuals with her husband John, also a botanist and garden designer. She was also an early pioneer in science fiction, her novel Mummy! was written to support herself, when at age 17, her father died penniless.

BTW - Bindweed (wild morning glory, creeping jenny, etc.) a native of Eurasia, was introduced to the west as an ornamental; now it is considered a nuisance and pernicious weed that is nearly impossible to eliminate.
