SUMMARY:Biomimicry in the Garden: Drawing Inspiration from Plants for Technology & Design
DESCRIPTION:Inspiration from the diversity of the natural world can lead to new ideas for addressing design and technological challenges. Join us for a pair of extraordinary speakers whose work illustrates how understanding the biology of plants can lead to innovation.  \n\nSprouting and Branching: Natural Models of Proliferation and Repair\nStrokes occur when the brain does not receive a sufficient amount of blood. Of all the forms of stroke\, one of the most challenging is due to the accumulation of cholesterol and other fats in the wall of the arteries. This condition is known as intracranial atherosclerosis. Current treatments of this disease remain to have high rates of recurrent stroke and death. The research that Dr. Gonzalez has conducted at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai focuses on finding methods to bring additional blood flow to the brain of patients at risk for stroke.\nDr. Gonzalez’ investigations concentrate on fostering the potential ability of the human arteries to produce new branches\, which have numerous structural and functional parallels with the way branches and roots grow in plants. These similarities have been an inspiration for several of the components of this research\, which have received two National Innovation Awards from the American Heart Association. Dr. Gonzalez will be discussing the remarkable similarities seen in the process of proliferation of arteries in the human brain with what appears as a common evolutionary ancestor process in sprouting and branching in plants.\n\n\nBiological Design: The History and Future of Plant Architecture \nIn this talk\, Dr. Siobhan Braybrook will describe the basic principals governing plant body architecture and explore with you how the plant body plan has been altered for agricultural purpose. We will then explore how the designs we find in plants have been used as template and inspiration for new materials\, solar panels\, and even buildings. Come and find out how the Strelitzia flower pictured here inspired the function and design of a self-moving building!\nDr. Siobhan Braybrook is an Assistant Professor of Molecular\, Cell\, and Developmental Biology at UCLA and a plant biologist. Her research group works on understanding how shapes and patterns are grown in plants\, from the arrangements of leaves around a stem to the elongation of a young seedling reaching out of the soil. She is the daughter of a horticulturist and has always loved plants.\n\nThis is event is free\, but space is limited–Please RSVP.  Come early to explore the Botanical Garden.  Help support free educational programming by making a donation online.

SUMMARY:The Fynbos Vegetation of South Africa: Ecology\, Conservation\, & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Fynbos Vegetation of South Africa:  Understanding unique ecological processes to determine best practices for propagation and restoration \n\nThe Fynbos vegetation of the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa contains among the highest plant species richness of anywhere in the world for the size of the region. The variety of ways in which plant species are adapted to survive periodic wildfires\, specialized pollination interactions\, and unique seed dispersal techniques have influenced the extreme diversity of plant species and high rates of narrow-range endemism in the region. However\, the combined impacts of habitat loss\, invasive species intrusion\, and climate change have resulted in many Fynbos plant species and entire vegetation types becoming threatened with extinction today.\n\nJoin botanist Dr. Stuart Hall during his visit to Los Angeles from South Africa to learn more about conservation methods in this important region. He will discuss Fynbos ecology\, threats to the region\, and conservation initiatives-including how institutions such as botanical gardens can be centers of collaboration: combining research\, conservation and horticulture.\n\nThis event is free\, but space is limited–Please RSVP

SUMMARY:Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Cities may seem to be solely the work of humans—right down to the urban landscape of street trees\, ornamental plantings\, and manicured lawns that were put in place by human hands. But wild plants spread through the landscape without any human help\, forming a ubiquitous botanical backdrop that exists at the fringes of most concepts of nature. Join Evan Meyer\, Assistant Director of the UCLA Botanical Garden\, for a discussion of the wild flora of inner-city Los Angeles. This program is co-presented by LENS: Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies.

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:Ethnomusicology in the Garden: Hindustani Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the golden hour in the garden for a concert of Hindustani (Northern Indian) classical music featuring sitar and tabla. This music takes form through a concept called raag\, which contains mood\, composition and improvisation\, and flows through multiple movements which build up to climactic closing sections. The selected raags are Charukeshi and Yaman\, which are both traditionally played or listened to in the evening. These will be performed outside in the waning hours of the day\, with the hope of connecting the sonic performance with the moods of the garden at a day’s end. \nMusic is performed by UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music Department of Ethnomusicology students Justin Inbar on sitar and Ram Kaundinya on tabla. \nThis event is free\, but seating is limited. Please RSVP here. \nThere is no charge for many of our programs\, but donations of any amount are greatly appreciated! Please visit our website to support the Docent and Education Fund. Thank you for considering a tax-deductible donation to the Botanical Garden.
