SUMMARY:Orchids that Grow Outside on the Central California Coast
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Parham and Ed Lysek of the Five Cities Orchid Society will discuss the surprisingly large range of orchids that can be grown outdoors on the Central California Coast. They will start with an overview of how to grow and re-bloom everyone’s favorite indoor orchid\, the Phalaenopsis orchid. This will be followed by a brief overview of the special needs of orchids and their general cultural requirements. \nMost local orchid growers will be familiar with Cymbidium orchids\, and we will discuss the cultural needs of this group and a wide range of other orchids\, including Laelias\, Dendrobiums\, Epidendrums\, Sarchochilus\, Sobralias\, and Zygopetalums. \n*Members use code Member20 to receive your discount.

SUMMARY:Bird & Botany Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Garden is excited to present a quarterly bird walk series which explores the intersection of birds and botany. Many plant lovers and many bird watchers enjoy their passions without much regard to how these two realms interact. Yet the links between birds and flora are critical to each\, from pollination to seed distribution to nesting and shelter. \nThis walk\, led by Mark Mushkat and Ken Levine\, studies birdlife amongst the plants of the botanical garden. The focus will be on which avian species are drawn to certain plants\, what’s gained or lost in the exchange\, and how this understanding can shape your own landscaping efforts to the benefit of fauna and flora. Allowing for a two-hour exploration\, on mostly flat terrain\, we expect to see and hear a wide variety of avian species as they feed\, hide\, nest\, and defend territory in the garden’s lush habitat. \nMembers use code “member10” to receive your Member discount. Membership will be verified. \n

SUMMARY:Soul and Soil: Prenatal and Postnatal Gatherings
DESCRIPTION:Studies show that digging in the dirt can uplift your spirit. The friendly bacteria\, Mycobacterium vaccae\, present in the soil stimulates serotonin production\, acting as a natural antidepressant. We believe the lack of understanding around prenatal and postnatal care has resulted in isolated\, overlooked\, and overwhelmed mothers\, and that “postnatal” is not a stage\, but forever. The SLO Botanical Garden offers a safe space (and plenty of healthy soil) to help us connect to our bodies\, our littles\, the natural world\, and each other. Including snacks\, activities\, and care for little ones\, join us for grounding in your pregnancy and lifelong postpartum journey. \nPlease bring water\, comfortable shoes\, sunscreen\, snacks and messy play clothes for your children\, and an optional blanket or mat if you’d like to sit on the floor.

SUMMARY:Chumash Ethnobotany Lecture with Jan Timbrook
DESCRIPTION:Chumash people have used some 150 species of plants for food\, medicine\, raw materials for making clothing\, tools and utensils\, religious paraphernalia\, and other items essential to existence. Equally important are the ways in which the Chumash thought about plants and were affected by them. Dr. Timbrook’s informative\, illustrated talk will provide a glimpse into the fascinating plant world of the Chumash\, including the complex interrelationships between the first people of our region and the environment in which they lived. \nMembers enter code “member10” at checkout to receive your member discount! **Using this code without an active membership will result in a non-refundable cancellation of your order.**
