Description

Join David Janas, veteran horticulturist, as he shares his expertise growing and caring for cactus and succulents Have you ever wanted to grow cactus and succulents but weren't sure how? Join David Janas, a.k.a. the Plant Doctor, as he shares his expertise growing and caring for these popular plants. Janas, a veteran horticulturalist, has grown succulents in one form or another for most of his life, including professionally in three different botanic gardens. Most recently he was the horticulturist in charge of the desert collection at the Missouri Botanic Garden. During this discussion, Janas will explain what cactus and succulents are, as well as where these plants come from and why this makes so many of them good candidates for life on a windowsill. He will cover tried and true growing techniques, with hands-on demonstrations, for a variety of situations that will help you develop a better understanding for these beautiful and personable plants. Do you have a house plant that needs help? Bring it for examination and diagnosis. No matter the problem you are not alone and everyone can learn from it. Do you have a house plant that is doing well? Bring it to show off and share your experience. Take home a common succulent and practice what you learned. Supply is limited. Plants are free, but donations will be welcomed. The WCA is a not-for-profit organization and offers free and low-cost events to the local community throughout the year. The association owns and operates two facilities in Wilmot – the Red Barn, a community center, and Timmy Patten Park, a beach and playground.
