On Monday, September 10, 2012, the San Diego Horticultural Society welcomes Jason Kubrock, Mo Price, and Wendy Proud for a panel discussion of incredible plants from South Africa, Australia and the American Southwest suited for San Diego gardens. Each speaker will share proven plants as well as new introductions and show how they integrate beautifully into landscapes.
Jason Kubrock, formerly senior horticulturist at San Diego Botanic Garden and now an instructor at Mira Costa College’s horticulture program, will discuss South African Plants for California Gardens. Jason will introduce a variety of horticultural treasures from South Africa, including their culture and landscape uses. Some of this African flora is tried and true, while others are new or upcoming – perfect additions to our horticultural wish lists.
Mo Price, a Master Gardener, authority on Australian native plants, San Diego Botanic Garden docent, and SDHS member, will discuss Australian Plants That Thrive in our Mediterranean Climate. Based on her experience growing more than 75 varieties in her own garden, Mo will share practical advice on these plants’ specific soil, water and fertilizer requirements that will help them thrive here. Mo will showcase some of her favorites as well as some 2012 Koala Blooms plant introductions coming to California nurseries.
Wendy Proud, California Sales representative for Mountain States Wholesale Nursery, will discuss the Native Flora of the Sonoran Desert. These unique native species adapt to our region and perform beautifully in combination with California natives and other plants from around the world. As water prices continue to increase, desert adapted plants are smart choices for area landscapes.
The evening starts at 6:00 PM in the Surfside Race Place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar. Parking is free and everyone is welcome. Admission is free for members and $10 for non-members. Before the lecture a plant expert will discuss one exceptional plant (a “Hot Hort Pick”) that is a star in the garden. A Silent Auction will feature some of the plants discussed as well as the Hot Hort Pick plants from Evergreen Nursery. For more information, call (619) 296-9215 or visit www.SanDiegoHorticulturalSociety.org. -
