Gerhard Bock Open Garden, March 1
Gerhard Bock will open his garden in Davis on Saturday, March 1, from 10 am to 2 pm. Gerhard has a large collection of aloes, and many will be in bloom. There are plenty of other things to see, too: agaves, cacti, and companion plants from around the world. Check out Gerhard’s blog for a sneak peek: https://www.succulentsandmore.com/
Email Gerhard at gerhard@succulentsandmore.com to RSVP and get the address. Or, if you know where he lives, just show up.
