Poppy Hour at Theodore Payne

POPPY HOUR 

We are excited to announce Poppy Hour, a LIVE internet show about California native plant gardens, and the people and ideas behind them. Grab your beverage of choice for this botanical happy hour and join us on Zoom or YouTube where you can share questions and comments. Join Evan, Margaret, and Philip every Friday through the pandemic.

Our guest for our first episode on Friday, April 10 is Naomi Fraga, Director of Conservation Programs at California Botanic Garden (formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden)

Our friends at the UCLA Botanical Garden have arranged an online screening  of Natura Urbana, a film about the brachen (urban wildlands) of Berlin. TPF Executive Director Evan Meyer will speak on a panel discussion about nature in cities which will accompany the screening, which will be available to watch April 17^th-19^th. Click here to RSVP.

Many of you tuned in for our live, two day online garden tour. It was a lot of fun, and we saw some great gardens and met the people who put their love into them. Both days are archived, and can be viewed on YouTube or by clicking on either of the play icons above.

We want to send a huge thanks to many of you who’ve supported TPF during the past few weeks. It is so helpful as we adapt to a new normal. If you haven’t already, you can make a tax deductible donation here. Thank you!

We hope that you are all staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you again in person.

Until then, we’ll see you online!
