On the third Monday of every month (except December) at 7:15 p.m.,
members meet in the County Fair Building at The San Francisco
Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum for exciting monthly slide/
lecture programs by expert guest speakers, followed by the Plant
Forum, a presentation of plants brought in by members for discussion.
A drawing of some of the best and newest plants donated by sponsoring
nurseries rounds out the evening. Gardeners, professional nurserymen,
amateurs and academics all meet to share plant information and
experiences. In the past 66 years, over 6,000 different species of
plants have been shown and discussed.

You can meet the speakers for a walk through Strybing Arboretum and

Ron and his co-author, Mary Gerritsen, will both be there to sign

Relatives".
