SUMMARY:Lecture: Dudleya\, California’s Unique Succulent
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jeff Moore\, Author\, Owner of Solana Succulents \nDudleya are beautiful succulents native to California\, with some occurrences in northern Baja\, Mexico\, and Oregon. Jeff’s presentation will cover most of the currently described species in California and Baja\, following the flow of his new book\, co-written with Jeremy Spath and Kelly Griffin. \nDudleya are found in some of the most stunning locations along the California coast—complete with cliffside backdrops and vast ocean vistas\, and their photographs are breathtaking\, as Jeff will share during the presentation. Jeff first became interested in Dudleya when he saw some at the San Diego County Fair in the early 1980s. He began selling them in his spare time\, which eventually led to the opening of Solana Succulents in 1992. GP $12\, M $10\, V $8. Register online or at the Nature Center by calling 760-767-3098. \nRegister here for the program.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Native American Life\, Use of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cathy Chambers\, Volunteer\nMany hundreds of years ago\, there was nothing close to a store in all of North America. The people living here before that time needed materials for clothing\, storage containers\, food\, tools\, and other essentials to build living structures. All of these materials were gathered and processed into the items they needed. Groups traded with each other for what they needed\, offering what they had in surplus in exchange. In this presentation\, you will see and handle samples of plants and the objects made from them that were used in everyday life in the surrounding desert. Cathy Chambers is a lifelong naturalist who studied ethnobotany for her personal and professional development\, starting her career decades ago here in Anza-Borrego. GP $12\, M $10\, V $8. You can register online or at the Nature Center\, 760-767-3098. \nRegister here for the program.
