PRESENTATION: “Propagating Succulent Cuttings”
Yvonne will bring many cuttings of her succulent garden to discuss and demonstrate and then share.  If you also have “too much of a good thing” that you’d like to share, please bring some! You’ll never know that something you consider “ordinary” is just what someone else has been looking for!

Bio: Yvonne Savio grew up on a 3/4 acre hillside lot in Pasadena growing year-round fruits, vegetables and flowers with lots of manure and compost and “making do” before it was called recycling or repurposing. She knows what “harvested at the perfect moment of ripeness means and enjoys enabling others to enjoy the benefits of “growing your own”.
For 36 years she worked for the University of California, conferring with statewide vegetable, fruit and ornamental specialists. She revitalized the Los Angeles County Master Gardener Volunteer Program, teaching 1150 master Gardeners who then served 1.3 million county residents.
In 2015, she initiated her website-www.GardeningInLA.net-where she blogs  about what’s happening in her Pasadena garden and posts intriguing gardening news articles. She invites everyone to submit gardening events and job opportunities open to the public.
