Choosing Native Plants for the Garden, and their Care

Tuesday, September 19, 2023 — 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Bart O’Brien will be sharing some of his favorite California native plants for gardens and how to care for them in a rapidly changing climate. Familiar, lesser known, and newer selections will be discussed, with a focus on plants that are appropriate for smaller gardens.

Bio: Bart O’Brien has been the manager/director of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden (RPBG) in Tilden Regional Park since 2013. Located in the Berkeley Hills of Northern California’s Bay Area, this outstanding and beautiful ten-acre garden is dedicated to the horticulture, conservation, and research of California native plants. Prior to coming to the RPBG, Bart spent 24 years at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden where he held a variety of positions including Director of Horticulture, Curator of the Living Collection, and Director of Special Projects.

This event is sponsored by the Milo Baker Chapter of CNPS. Click here for updates and the Zoom link which will be coming soon.
