SUMMARY:Horticultural Society meeting\, featuring UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden Waterworks Project
DESCRIPTION:The Southern California Horticultural Society will host a live program\, to be presented by Allison Keeney\, the assistant director of the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden\, who has been overseeing various aspects of the garden’s renovation. The focus of her talk will be on a large-scale waterworks project that includes a comprehensive irrigation and stream system\, along with the strategic establishment of riparian plantings.   \nKeeney is a third-generation Angeleno who grew up spending most of her time outdoors\, fascinated by plants. This led to her working at a plant nursery during high school\, where she realized that horticulture would become her career path.  Keeney earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture from California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo\, and she has remained in the plant world ever since. For the past three years\, she has been serving as the assistant director of the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden.  \nIn her current position\, Keeney oversaw the installation of the Tongva basket weaving garden\, the design and planting of high visibility areas\, and the creation of Clarkia Hill\, which features the Mathias garden’s signature flower\, as seen on its new branding logo. Most recently\, she initiated the ambitious waterworks project undergoing construction. Plans include a water-saving irrigation system\, an efficient stream\, and adjacent garden areas that will feature California native riparian and a wetland plants. Altogether\, Keeney’s various projects are aimed at improving the garden while she concurrently maintains and curates its diverse plant collection\, primarily designed for teaching and research missions at UCLA. \nPlease join us to learn more about this local treasure on the UCLA campus in Westwood that is free and open to the public. \nMore info at https://socalhort.org/. \nAnnouncements:   7:10 p.m.   /   Plant Forum:   7:15 p.m.  /  Program:   7:30 p.m. \nFREE for Members  /  $5.00 for Non-Members \nProgram will be recorded for the SCHS YouTube archive.
