Susan's talk will discuss planting practices for grapevines, whether one is planting one vine, several vines or a small hobby vineyard. She will cover month-by-month how to care for one's plant(s) and take everyone through a typical year of plant care after the third year when the vine is established. Years 1 and 2 have some special practices for shaping the vines. All information will be focused on the home garden, amateur grape growers and science-backed information.

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. Phot 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.
