    Explore the botanical and political landscape with Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson, a national treasure in our own backyard. Signe will give you a tour of her garden cartoons from her nationally syndicated strip, “Family Tree” and her illustrations with Organic Gardening magazine. Of course she will wander into the wider world of political penmanship with examples of her Philadelphia Daily News cartoons on local and national issues. Formerly a languid Chestnut Hill gardener, Signe moved to Center City and the hours she saved pulling weeds now go to fighting squirrels for dominance on her rooftop container garden. This talk is not recommended for the humor impaired!
