  • Katherine Greenberg, California native-plant expert, author, and PHS board member, demonstrates how native plant communities can inform our garden choices to lasting effect.
  • Robin Stockwell, owner of Succulent Gardens nursery, will show you how to synchronize your aloes, sedums, yuccas, and aeoniums.
  • Eileen Kelly, garden designer and owner of Dig Your Garden, is a connoisseur of plant vignettes for any size garden.
  • And Patrick Lannan, resident designer with Flora Grubb Gardens, puts together container combos with style.
