Issue 10:02 THE CACTUS PATCH February 2007

Bakersfield Cactus

The Green Thumb Club’s February 17th meeting will feature guest speaker Ellen Cypher, botanist for CA Dept. of Fish & Game, who will talk about "Posies, Parasites & Prickles: Recovery of Endangered Plants in the San Joaquin Valley." This may be of interest as it should include the Bakersfield Cactus. - Lynn

Cactus Available

Julia Lynfesty has a daughter with a large succulent garden that she no longer wants. There are large and small plants. She would like to know if anyone is interested in having some as she can’t bear to see them destroyed. If you're interested, contact The Catctus Patch to get Julia's phone number.

Club Library

Our new librarian is busy inventorying the club library and would like to ask the members to check to see if they have any library books at home. Please bring them to the next meeting so that our inventory can be complete.
Membership in the Bakersfield Cactus & Succulent Society costs $10 per year for an individual and only $15 a year for a family. This extraordinarily reasonable price not only includes twelve issues of The Cactus Patch but entitles you to participate in club field trips to far-off (out-of-town) and exotic places (more exotic than Bakersfield). You will also receive a nifty name tag that will be your ticket to the members only plant raffle held every meeting featuring the best plant from the raffle table! All this is in addition to the wonderful programs and people at the meetings.
