HYBRID MEETING REPORT: Smart, Gorgeous, Sensible Succulent Gardens w/Debra Lee Baldwin Sept. 2022

During her 20-year career as a succulent fashionista, Debra Lee Baldwin has seen it all. From front yards that sadly illustrate what-not-to-do to homeowner-designed masterpieces, Debra shows us the good, the bad and the magnificent. You’ll be inspired, amused, awed by beauty, impressed by practicality, and likely never see succulent gardens in the same way again. With humor, common sense and horticultural know-how, Debra deepens our knowledge and appreciation of these versatile, low-water plants. She'll sign books before and after her presentation.

San Diego garden celebrity Debra Lee Baldwin is known globally as The Queen of Succulents. Debra launched the succulent craze in 2007 with her book, Designing with Succulents, now in a completely revised and updated new edition. Prior to writing it and two other succulent bestsellers, Debra was a scout and photojournalist for Sunset Magazine and other publications. She has spoken from Canada to Florida to Hawaii, and her YouTube channel’s 100-plus videos have over six million views. Debra lives and gardens on a half-acre north of Escondido in Hidden Meadows.
