Please join us for our 2024 Horticulturist of the Year Awards Banquet. This annual event brings the gardening community together to celebrate a highly esteemed colleague and to support the Society.
Since 1952, more than 70 avid and exceptional plant lovers from varied realms of Southern California horticulture have received this prestigious award. This year, we honor Santa Monica-based garden designer Nancy Goslee Power for her many contributions to the art of landscape design. During her illustrious career, Nancy has designed scores of stunning public and private gardens—including several for children—mentored young designers, and written two outstanding books.
This year’s special occasion and delightful banquet will take place at a wonderful new venue: the historic Sparr Heights Community Center in Glendale. Tickets are $65 per person, or you can elevate your support by reserving our new Hort Support Table for eight at $650, an enhanced level of giving that helps the Society continue offering inspiring speakers, fabulous garden visits, fun field trips, valuable internships, and much more. As always, a silent auction of unique, hand-picked horticultural treasures will precede the dinner!
We hope you can join us to honor Nancy!
