On May 22, 2015, many members of LBGC began our day with a tour of the Tree of Life Nursery. Our most recent speaker, Mike Evens led us on an excursion of the nursery’s operations, where over 500 species and varieties of California Native Plants are propagated from either seeds or cuttings. When mature they are sold at both the wholesale and retail level. Mike was both informative and charming as he shared insightful information on the operation of the nursery. We ended our day by making “Living Bowls,” receptacles filled with native plants, rocks and twigs that imitated nature. Mike said, “They are the antithesis of the Color Bowl.”
