SANTA CRUZ: LAND OF 1001 WONDERS

We celebrated our 15th anniversary at the place where our organization began. The theme of the conference was focus on the region’s extraordinary natural and cultural landscape, drawing attention to the importance of the living collections at the University of California, Santa Cruz Arboretum, and honoring our founder, Bill Grant. Marlea Graham, founding editor of our journal, Eden, and Phoebe Cutler were the conveners.
