Program:
Mike Evans of Tree of Life Nursery on replacing your lawn: "Ugly is Not a Turf Replacement"
March, with its transitional nature, is the perfect time to welcome speaker Mike Evans to the Southern California Horticultural Society, to present a program about beautiful and practical options for replacing tired lawns with sustainable planting alternatives. As the founder and president of Tree of Life Nursery in San Juan Capistrano, which has been producing and selling California native plants for over 40 years, Mike has experience in native plant production, design, landscaping and ecological restoration. He also writes extensively for the nursery’s website and blog, and recently led two years of horticultural training for the garden staff at Disneyland. Tree of Life promotes a style of authentic horticulture, specifically the concept of appropriate landscaping with native California plants. For more information and directions to Friendship Auditorium, see our Meetings Page. ** A PDF version of Jennifer Hinostroza's houseplant recommendations from her January talk is available to download on our Past Meetings page. |
