FEBRUARY??? YES…. Think blooming ALOES.
WHAT’S HAPPENING? A Sacramento Cactus and Succulent Society educational field trip to the Ruth Bancroft Garden.
Located in Walnut Creek, the Ruth Bancroft Garden houses a unique and diverse collection of cacti, succulents and drought tolerant plants from around the world. The many large mature specimens located throughout the 3.5-acre garden serve as an excellent example of just how stunning a dry garden can be. Their nursery features drought tolerant plants including California natives, cactus and succulents.
This garden is a MUST SEE! And the aloes in bloom are a special treat.
WHAT’S INCLUDED? SCSS will provide admission, a box lunch with drinks, and bus transportation from Sacramento and Davis.
TRANSPORTATION:
We will travel by BUS. You may meet and be dropped back at one of the following locations. Both have plenty of parking. Note: If you miss your bus, you are still welcome to drive yourself to the garden.
The first pickup location is the Watt/Manlove Park and Ride on Manlove off Watt Ave. just south of Highway 50 (map). Meet at the bus loading area. Please arrive by 8:00am. The bus will depart at 8:15am.
