NEXT GENERAL MEETING:

Presenter Tony Gurnoe 

Jeremy Spath will be rescheduled. 

Please be advised that Jeremy Spath’s presentation has been rescheduled for November 21. Tomorrow’s session will instead feature Tony Gurnoe, President & Lead Arborist of Treehugger Care and Consulting, presenting on a selection of native oaks and their suitability for various landscaping applications. The presentation will cover identifying traits, horticultural characteristics of various species such as size, drought tolerance, and fall color, what to look for when selecting plants from the nursery, proper installation practices, and some of the challenges of incorporating local oaks into shrinking suburban lots.

July 2025 Anne Murphy brought in a delightful bouquet of nine species of flowering California native plants, and this is just one of those beauties.  She hopes that seeing these lovely specimens will encourage members to plant more natives in their gardens. Photo credit: Karen England.

The Plant Forum has returned! So please bring some of your plants to share with members... 

All you have to do is:

1) Bring a cutting or a potted plant to a meeting.

2) BEFORE you leave home, take a minute to print out a slip of paper with the common and scientific name of the plant, where it is native to (if you know that), what city it is growing in, your name, and a couple of sentences about your experience with the plant.
