general knowledge of plants.
Greer s photographs and plant knowledge
will document his lecture’s focus of using
plants for all year
Originally a student of landscape archi
tecture at the University. Greer soon realized
he was more interesttsl in the plants than the
designs.

aiming me toward sitting in an office." Greer
said “One professor told me. 'You won't
need to know one plant from another
