What’s Happening in Gardening

Hosted by Matt-Dell & Rebecca Tufenkian


Each class begins with an open discussion which may or may not include: show & tell, current events, culture tips, pest problems, and introductions of new plants. The class will also include lectures or hands-on workshops from the following speakers.

April 21                Engelmann Oak Grove – James Henrich

The Arboretum’s Engelmann Oak Grove is the northernmost pure stand of a remnant oak population that spanned an area from northern Mexico up into Arizona and over to the coast of southern California. In that the stand is unique and that part of the trees range has been shrinking due to development, it is an ecological treasure. Jim Henrich has started a program that will help to ensure that this treasure is available for generations to come. In the last four years Jim Henrich’s oak establishment program has led to an increase in survival in Engelmann oak seedlings. Jim will update us on his progress and lead us on a tour of the Engelmann Oak Grove.

April 28                Scented-Leaf Geraniums – Matt-Dell Tufenkian

Learn the joys of these easy-care, good-smelling, drought-tolerant plants! Matt-Dell will share with us about his family legacy and favorite plants – geraniums. He will show slides from the building of the Scented Geranium Garden (which he helped to create) and then lead us on a walk-through tour.
