Pawpaw lecture near Chicago

 

For anyone curious about Pawpaws, a native American fruit, there
will be an interesting lecture at the Chicago Botanic Garden
on Feb. 7 at 2 PM in Glencoe Illinois.  Access is off of Eden's
Highway at Lake Cook Road on the East side.  The lecture is given
by Ken Drabik, a biologist at the U. of Chicago.  He is a frequent
presenter and speaker at the annual Ohio Pawpaw Festival held
each September near Albany, Ohio.  He works closely with Pawpaw
experts Dr. Kirk Pomper of Kentucky State U. and Neal Peterson
of Peterson Pawpaws.  Admission to the lecture is free, but there
is a charge for parking.  The Botanic Garden is worth a visit, even
in the Winter, so come early to look around.
