SUMMARY:Nicholas Staddon: The New American Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join Nicholas Staddon for an Englishman’s view of the New American Garden. “Gardens all over the United States are undergoing a measure of change” bubbles Nicholas. “No more so then here in Southern California.” He will provide us with a unique overview of new plant exploration not only here in the United States but overseas as well. Get a peek at the 2018 Chelsea Flower Show and some of the recent highlights. He will also cover the importance of the edible garden\, and the next step of integrating those plants in to an existing landscape. And finally a hand-picked selection of new and underused plants for our region. This event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Extension Horticulture & Gardening program. This event is free\, please RSVP.\n\nNicholas Staddon\, has been working with plant breeders\, hybridizers\, and professional Plant Explorers for the last 25 years. Scouring the globe for new creations and discoveries in the plant world. Born in England\, Nicholas attended Otley Agricultural College where he received his credentials in Agricultural Science. Most recently working At Monrovia Nursery for nearly 27 years\, 15 of which he lead the New Plant program.

SUMMARY:Argentine Ants: Super colonies in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:The Botanical Garden holds more than just plants – it is home to many other life forms\, and in particular\, the diverse array of insects that call the Garden their home. Join Julie Miller for a talk to learn about one such insect\, the Argentine Ant\, that arrived in California a little over 100 years ago\, and established itself along the garden trails. These unsuspecting creatures have a strange social system\, not found in their native Argentina\, that causes them to form Super-colonies – a single\, interconnected colony that spans the length of the state of California! We’ll hear about what has led these tiny black ants to achieve such epic proportions\, and what existing theories can tell us about their future. Expanding through the state as a super-colony has been bad news for native ants\, and we’ll hear about their impact on California flora and fauna and what you can do to help.\nThis event is free\, please RSVP.\nJulie Miller is an NSF post-doctoral fellow in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. She does her research on the social systems of ants to understand how they cooperate and communicate in groups. She is currently using the Argentine ant in her studies on the evolution of group size.

SUMMARY:Native Bees in the Wild & in Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Dylan Burge exploring the ecology and health of native bees. Native bees are diverse and ecologically important in California. In natural ecosystems\, native bees are the primary pollinators of most plants. However\, native bees are in decline around the world\, with introduced diseases and pesticides the likely cause of the decline. Although humans as a whole are ultimately responsible for bee decline\, individuals can promote bee diversity by smart native plant gardening techniques that promote pollinator diversity.\n\nDylan Burge is a botanical and entomological consultant based in California. He does research on native plants and insects. In his spare time\, Dylan enjoys hiking\, photography\, free-diving\, and mountaineering. He is a Post Doc in Victoria Sork’s lab at UCLA.

SUMMARY:BirdLA Day: Botanical Birding for Citizen Science and Academic Research
DESCRIPTION:Held every May\, Bird LA Day celebrates the birds of Southern California and LA’s amazing biodiversity. Bird and nature-themed events are held throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Bird LA Day shines the spotlight on nature\, and reminds the world that Los Angeles is a lot more than just film\, fashion and celebrities.\nJoin graduate students Andy Kleinhesselink\, Samuel Bressler\, and the UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden staff for a morning of birding in our 7.5 acre urban oasis in Westwood! We’ll start off at the Nest Outdoor Classroom with coffee and snacks\, followed by some demonstrations about how the garden is used for ornithological scientific research and how citizen scientists like you can contribute birding observations with phone-based apps. This event is free\, but space is limited\, so please RSVP.\nPhoto by Nurit Katz

SUMMARY:Blacklisted: A Planted Allegory (Recollections)
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be labeled invasive? To be considered the wrong kind\, unwanted. Artist Jenny Yurshansky will share her work Blacklisted: A Planted Allegory (Recollections)\, an artist book that investigates the distinctions between native versus invasive species as determined by The California Invasive Species Advisory Counsel (CISAC). Out of the 600 blacklisted alien-invasive plants\, she found 133 which are now indexed in this collection; a group that is simultaneously highly local and totally foreign.\n\nSemantically the use of such terms as invasive and native are loaded. The direct correlation between human population shifts that occur at politically determined borders\, rather than those determined by biomes\, and the introduction vectors of these species is an area that warrants illumination. Come join the conversation and see Jenny’s artist book in the style of a botanical herbarium. Copies will be available for purchase\, $60. Cash\, check\, or Venmo accepted.\nThis event is free\, but space is limited–Please RSVP\n\nJenny Yurshansky is an American artist who was born in Rome. She received her MFA in Visual Art from UC Irvine.  In 2017 her artist edition book\, “Blacklisted: A Planted Allegory (Recollections)” was published by Pitzer College Art Galleries. She is the recipient of numerous artist and curatorial grants and has worked extensively internationally. She is the co-founder of Persbo Studio an artist residency\, sculpture park\, and creative space in Sweden.

SUMMARY:Making Honey in Los Angeles County: From Flower to Jar
DESCRIPTION:How do bees create honey here in Los Angeles County? Come see inside of a hive and explore bee ecology with beekeeper Eli Lichter-Marck of Eli’s Bees. He’ll take us on an adventure following honey as it transforms from flower to jar. He’ll cover raising healthy bees\, apiculture in our local ecology\, and conservation and education.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a presentation of local honey varieties from main West LA nectar flows\, with the opportunity to try different honeys and compare tasting notes!\n\nThis event is free\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot.\n\nEli runs a small commercial beekeeping operation in West Los Angeles County. His 200 colonies live throughout the diverse ecological zones of the Santa Monica Mountains. Eli’s background is in ecological design and architecture. Eli was drawn to beekeeping because of the unique opportunity it affords the beekeeper to witness and participate first-hand in the complex of weather dynamics\, plant genetics\, and insect biology that make up the world of the bees.
