The late season bloom on this ridge includes one of the rarest and most unusual plants in the world, the Tiburon mariposa lily. We’ll look for this and other flowers as we take in spectacular views of the bay. After lunch, we’ll drive over to Old Saint Hilary’s Preserve to see the rare and lovely Tiburon jewelflower as well as a number of other late blooming beauties. Remember to bring binoculars, if you have them.

Join us to pull weeds from areas planted in early 2012. Park in the small lot next to Lansdale Station Playground, walk along Forest Avenue, turn right onto Glen Road, right again on Creek Road, which leads you into the relatively flat part of the project. An-other part is on the steep slope across the creek closer to the culvert. Reaching it requires wading across the creek. Wear sturdy shoes or waterproof boots, bring heavy gloves, and drinking water. We’ll have some tools, but bring your favorite hand tools. Call Sandy at (415) 456-5052 for information.

Seeds, Seeds and More Seeds!
“Before the Seed, there comes the Thought of Bloom; and we have much to Hope
from Flowers”. Seeds are one of nature’s Miracles; and so much of all other life
is tied to the phenology of plants and the reproduction of their species.
To start learning about plant families we’ll look at the floral formulas; traits which are also easily
identifiable in the fruits and seeds. In this free class we’ll look at selection of seeds from various
native genera, and talk about ethical harvesting, and how seeds travel. We’ll practice some
simple methods of cleaning these seeds, and learn how to properly label and store seeds.
You’ll also learn to ‘think like nature’ while timing your harvest, and
considering a variety of pre-germination techniques.

Free field trip to Charlotte’s Garden *Location given after RSVP
In this class we’ll visit a small, but very productive nursery, where you can see some simple
propagation systems all set up. We’ll also look at a variety of nursery containers, different soil
mediums, and options for irrigation systems. You’ll learn how to customize your soil mixes to
accommodate a variety of propagation options. We’ll also discuss best management practices
in a nursery to produce vigorous healthy plants and to avoid problems with plant pathogens.
Once you start to propagate your own plants you’ll begin to see the potential of ‘Mother Plants’
throughout your garden. We’ll look at a number of different plants to learn to determine which
propagation method is best for each species, and how to time your efforts for best results.
