 New Developments

 

We have received a limited number of CNPS note cards for purchase at our meetings. As usual, the laminated wildflower posters, School Gardens books, and other publications will be available. These beautiful items are additional incentives to get out to our Chapter meetings!

 

Remember! Our chapter is looking for fundraising ideas and activities. Other chapters hold plant sales and book sales. Contact Alison Shilling (see page 1) if you would like to join in raising native plants for a possible fall plant sale.

 JEPSON HERBARIUM

 

ONLINE RESOURCES

 

The Jepson Herbarium offers some wonderful electronic/online resources. They have assembled a set of resources, dedicated to the study of the plants of California, that provide information on plant names, distribution, and up-to-date taxonomy. Additional features include links to Cal Photo, the CNPS Inventory, and the Flora of North America. For more information or to conduct a search of the data, visit

RSB Chapter Activities and Events

 

RSB Chapter Members staffed a booth in the 2003 Green Faire at the Jurupa Cultural Center. This event took place Saturday, May 31st and Sunday June 1st. Mimulus and Clarkia, cleverly supplied by Susan Jett, our Chapter Treasurer, bloomed vigorously around our tables and drew an impressive visitor traffic and many inquiries about native plants and their gardening uses. Membership brochures and CNPS literature were given out; books and posters were hot sales items. The other booths and displays were very informative and educational, with friendly and well-informed people .

 

Join Lorrae,

Katie, Alison and Nancy in this enjoyable event, next year!
