Native wildflower bouquet outreach
As we did last year, uur chapter is reaching out to the public by bringing native wildflower bouquets to community locales (libraries, schools, government offices). Wildflowers are collected from member gardens and displayed with additional native plant literature. Further information: Barbara Eisenstein, 626-590-5070, barbara.eisenstein@gmail.com
