Living in the Eastern United States, we look forward to the fall if only for the jewel-like displays of autumn foliage. Although we’ve known for a while “How” woody plants change color, we’ve not been as certain as to the “Why” of it. Learn about the chemical and biological processes that go into our annual fall fashion show and get a glimpse of the beauties of our own native species as they go through their annual transformation.

About the presenter:

Cheryl M. English, a long-time resident of the metropolitan Detroit area. Having earned a BA in Art History from Michigan State University and an MA in Art History and Archology from Cornell University, she realized she much preferred making art to dissecting it. Her studio, Black Cat Pottery, combines her passion for pottery & gardening.  As an Advanced Master Gardener (certified through Wayne County Extension), her abiding interest in things natural – and indigenous – is reflected in her unique designs. Cheryl’s work has been featured in The Detroit News Homestyle Section and Handmade Business Magazine.
