Growing and Appreciating California Succulents

Growing and Appreciating California Succulents
in the Garden and in the Wild
 |
 |
A few pieces of California native succulents from a CNPS wildflower show prompted geologist and restorationist Paul Heiple to add many California natives to his large collection of "foreign" succulents. Soon he was deep into Dudleyas, Sedums, Lewisias, cacti, and yuccas. Paul will share the excitement of finding these beautiful plants in the wild, and he will tell how he grows them. Paul volunteers extensively with the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of CNPS, where he shares his expertise and enthusiasm for succulents, as well as the message that native wildlife need native plants.
