Succulent of the Month

		Fred Dortort has grown cacti and succulent plants for thirty years. He's studied and observed plants in Baja California, mainland Mexico, South Africa, Namibia and the American southwest. He's lectured widely on succulent plants, has taught classes at the Botanical Garden, and written numerous articles for the Cactus and Succulent Journal, as well as publications such as Pacific Horticulture and Garden. Fred is a UCBG Volunteer. We appreciate his time and knowledge, working with the succulent and cactus collection (Arid House) and helping with propagation for our Plant Sales. Visit the Volunteers page for more information about volunteering at the UC Botanical Garden.
