Palm Saturday! San Francisco Workshop/Plant Sale April 8, 2006, 10AM-2PM
"Palm Saturday" will take place on April 8, at the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum, from 10:00 till 2:00 Ninth Ave at Lincoln Way.
I will be participating in the days events, by doing a workshop on how to grow Cycads in the California climate, subtitled "How to Really Preserve and Not Kill the Endangered Species We’re Growing, and Why We Should". This discussion will feature essential information on growing and nurturing cycads suitable for Bay Area gardens.
The presentation will be preceded and followed by a sale including rare and choice cold-hardy cycads that will do well in the SF Bay Area and environs. These will range from seedlings to larger specimens, many of which have not been made available in Northern California, at least in these sizes, rare species and low prices.
Here is the schedule for the day:
10:00 - 10:30 - Arrivals, palm & cycad table sale, book table sale and silent auction bids
10:30 - 11:30 - David Leaser speaks on Palms for Small Spaces (and/or other related topics)
11:30 - 12:00 - Plant and book sale table open
12:00 - 1:00 - Maurice Levin speaks on Cycads
1:00 - 2:00 - Conclusion of sale, final auction bids accepted, sale and auction ends

You’ll
notice we list and price cycads by caudex size. The caudex is a
cycad’s woody, bulblike trunk, and caudex size is a good measure of
cycad age. The chart below can give you a rough idea of how this
translates to pot size.
