PRESENTER FOR MARCH IS:  Jeff Moore – “Under the Spell of Succulents”

Jeff will talk a bit about the making of his book and his logic in putting it together, aiming at both new converts to succulents, yet engaging enough to connect with long-time enthusiasts. Chapters deal with how we engage with succulents – growers, collectors, landscaping, container gardens, and niches such as bonsai, crests, variegation, etc…. The interludes show the major groups or genera- aloes, agaves, cacti, etc…. Long time succulent folks might not learn a lot of new things, but should be entertained by the images and some tales from the nursery. Jeff will bring his book as well as his newer book on Aloes and Agaves to sell/sign, as well as some nice plant material from his nursery.

Jeff is the manager and owner of Solana Succulents, a specialty retail nursery in Solana Beach, CA for over 20 years.  They offer both common colorful succulents as well as collector cacti and succulents.  They have everything from tiny 2” plants to boxed landscape specimens.  They can also assist with landscape design ideas as well as putting together dish gardens.
