I love all things Botany, but I like growing plants, too. My Ph.D. is in plant taxonomy, specializing in palms, but I also publish research in Salvia, liverworts and other interesting corners of the Plant Kingdom. I'm @Scott.Zona on Instagram and @scottzona.bsky.social.

Please check out my book, A Gardener's Guide to Botany (Cool Springs Press, 2022): quarto.com/books/9780760374450/a-gardener-s-guide-to-botany
