Some Annuals to Consider

Annual plants are typically used in our gardens for fast and easy color display. But there is a wide range of annuals that are rarely offered in garden centers. This talk from nursery woman and seed specialist Ginny Hunt will focus on a range of annual possibilities that do well in California’s climate – from the glorious to the simply charming, with an emphasis on California natives. Techniques for starting seeds will also be discussed.

A native Californian, Ginny Hunt has grown plants for many years in central and northern California. She has worked at a variety of plant establishments, including the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum and Western Hills Nursery.

She is currently employed at Suncrest Nurseries and is also the proprietor of her own seed business, Seedhunt.
