Tags: 2013, Mary Ann Rush, Meeting, Season 2012-2013

For our February meeting, Mary Ann Rush presented on a variety of garden types including the Moonglow Garden (the all-white garden that glows on the night of the full moon), the Hummingbird Garden and Butterfly Garden.

Mary Ann has been a gardener since she was 5 years old. She actually wanted to be a landscaper, but growing up in Connecticut, she was encouraged to not choose a profession that required clearing snow for 4 months of the year as a way to supplement income!

Mary Ann always had a vegetable garden each summer and cared for the yards of each of her grandparent’s homes earning money for Nursing College. She has 47 years of experience, passion, and plant expertise regarding gardening. She is a Master Gardener who took classes at Santa Monica College to learn Southern California gardening by touring local gardens with a landscape teacher.
