Learn about common house plants and how to care for them and propagate them for many years of leafy green joy. Perfect for those who love house plants, are just getting started on their houseplant journey, and are looking for ways to ensure their plants will thrive.

Presenter:

Kimberly Swan spent decades experimenting in her small fog-challenged San Francisco backyard, joining UC Master Gardeners in 2022.  Interests include soils, succulents, vegetables and perennials, and garden design, studying for several years with the Landscape Architecture program at UC Berkeley.  Kimberly helps friends, family and community members transform their spaces into gardens that work for them — she led an effort to turn an elementary school in the Haight Ashbury from a barren paved lot into a multi-level thriving garden for play and curriculum. Kimberly is specializing in soils and loves sharing her passion with the public.
