Jesus gives Wildflower Bloom and Bust Cycles talk on April 22

Fellow(s): Maria Jesus

Many of us have been able to experience the magic of vibrant hillsides showing a kaleidoscope of colors during a superbloom in California, but why isn't every year a superbloom year? 

Join Maria Jesus, 2019 Switzer Fellow, at the California Botanic Garden (CalBG) virtually on Thursday, April 22 at 6pm to learn all about the bloom and bust cycles of California’s native wildflowers. Follow Maria as she takes you on a virtual tour to several beloved wildflower hotspots around the state and tells you the best strategies for wildflower viewing during dry years like 2021. Walk away with a better understanding about how our changing world could impact superblooms of the future and efforts to conserve California's unique plant diversity. The suggested program fee is $10, but there will be an option to register for the talk free of charge.
