What a great topic for our September meeting: “How to Multiply Your Plants For FREE!” After shopping at the Plant & Bake Sale, our speaker, Ann Northrup, will show us how (and how NOT) to increase our plant population. Ann has a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Plant Pathology from UC Berkeley. Her work has been primarily focused on disease diagnostics of ornamental plants. She is currently working half-time at Montalvo Art Center along with consulting privately in plant pathology and arboriculture. She also teaches horticulture classes at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills and Merritt College in Oakland. She enjoys volunteering at the “Sick Plant Clinic” at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. She is also an active volunteer in the Master Gardener Program of Santa Clara County.

Guests are welcome to attend - fee is $5. Judy Hogan, Program Chair
