SUMMARY:Tour of Virginia Robinson Gardens-SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:See the largest stand of King Palms outside of Australia and the oldest Coral Tree in the state on a tour of the Virginia Robinson Gardens. \n\n\n\nVirginia Robinson (1877–1977) of Beverly Hills and Madame Ganna Walska (1887–1984) of Montecito were enemies of the average; challenging women’s traditional roles and living courageously. Each had a love of beauty\, music\, self-expression\, and a life-long ambition to express themselves through the gardens they created. Madame Ganna Walska created her boldly dramatic garden over a forty-three-year period while Virginia Robinson designed and honed her classical style Garden Villa over a period of sixty-six years. Each garden exudes the dramatic personalities of its creators. Both gardens have been meticulously preserved and rank among the finest in the world! \n\n\n\nAfter a fascinatingly docent-led tour of the historic property\, enjoy a beautifully catered lunch on the terrace before we depart. \n\n\n\nAs we make our way back to Santa Barbara\, we will stop at a nearby private home and garden for an exclusive look at their Scott Shrader designed garden.

SUMMARY:MADAME'S MILLINERY MASTERPIECES: Hats Throughout History
DESCRIPTION:Location: Lotusland \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Lotusland for an intimate presentation by Kaye Spilker\, Curator Emerita of Costume and Textiles at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHistory has seen many kinds of crowns on the heads of kings and queens\, socialites\, and tradespeople. Hats have been fascinating accessories for the most luxurious (and shabbiest) dress\, used both for protection and pageantry\, and signifying artistry\, wealth\, occupation\, status\, and prestige. This presentation will journey through several centuries of history’s headwear including the ancestral legacy of Madame Walska’s spectacular collection of hats. Kaye Spilker’s talk will be accompanied by a display of a selection of Madame Walska’s hats.  \n\n\n\nA  reception will follow the talk. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Keynote Kaye Spilker: Kaye received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Syracuse University and a Master of Fine Arts in art history from UCLA.  Following her undergraduate studies\, she worked for six years as an artist in Belgium\, where her works are represented in public and private collections.  She joined the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1987and retired after thirty challenging and very fulfilling years. At LACMA\, she curated many exhibitions on a broad range of subjects\, including ancient Peruvian textiles\, African costume\, children’s quilts\, Hollywood costume designer Adrian\, and she represented the costume and textiles department in the museum-wide millennial exhibition “Made in California”. Major exhibitions with catalogs that traveled internationally were: “Breaking the Mode” on LACMA’s contemporary fashion collection; “Fashioning Fashion” on historic European dress; and “Reigning Men” encompassing 3 centuries of menswear. Her unquestionable favorite\, however\, was the 2003 exhibition “Erté: Opera and Ballets Russes: Dance” which introduced Los Angeles visitors to the remarkable collection of Madame Walska’s opera ensembles designed by Erté and other famous couturiers. She looks forward to sharing her work on Madame’s glorious headwear. \n\n\n\n\n\nTicket Information:$575 – Patron Sponsors ( Includes access to a separate “Behind the Scenes” tour through the Lotusland Archive on November 4 at 2pm)$325 – Non-Member Pricing$275 – Member Pricing

SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY SYMPOSIUM Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Location: Historic Lemon Packing PlantSanta Paula\, CA \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin friends of Lotusland at a former lemon packing house in Santa Paula for an afternoon of education and connections!\n\n\n\nWith Part Two of this speaker series\, Lotusland and acclaimed landscape designer Eric Nagelmann have invited a selection of industry professionals to explore practical\, sustainable solutions that attendees can bring home to their own backyards— big or small. At Lotusland\, we have continuously aspired to be facilitators for environmental stewardship. Since 1997\, the Garden has been a powerful case study in organic\, sustainable horticulture. The success of Lotusland and our friends in related fields can now serve as a resource to the community\, from novice patio gardeners to large-scale orchards and growing spaces. \n\n\n\nThe benefits of sustainable horticulture are clear: they promote ecological balance and lead to a cleaner\, greener planet. \n\n\n\n\n\nCO-SPONSORSGanna Walska LotuslandCollector Car Vault \n\n\n\n\n\n$10 TICKET INCLUDES:Access to the Symposium\, Parking\, & Complimentary Refreshments \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEric Nagelmann – Co-Founder\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLandscape Designer \n\n\n\nMostly retired now\, landscape designer. I’ve had the privilege of designing gardens mostly in Southern California\, but also internationally from Hong Kong to Italy and places in between. I’ve worked at Lotusland for the last 20 or so years pro bono creating the Dunlap Cactus Garden\, Palmetum\, Insectary Garden and other incidental improvements\, as well as being instrumental in fundraising. I have plans to extend and recreate the tropical garden as well.A year ago\, I moved to Taos\, NM to recreate my life. I am building a house on 8 acres with ring-side views on the very edge of the Gorge. And\, of course\, I’m very excited about the new gardens I’m creating. While retired\, I’m also pursuing other interests such as learning to read music and play piano\, continuing my yoga practice\, skiing and hiking\, and a new current project of working with youth in a social venue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStacy Pulice – Moderator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsychologist\, Educator\, & Farmer \n\n\n\nA longtime educator\, psychologist\, and environmental community activist\, Stacy’s research demonstrates that student and teacher wellbeing is cultivated by loving concern and care\, cultivating interpersonal connections\, assuring a sense of belonging in community\, and encouraging choice that supports one’s passion. She has adopted this framework to establish regenerative practices on her family’s avocado farm in Santa Barbara County and created the opportunity to develop a sustainable legacy for future generations. \n\n\n\nUsing Taoist values\, she is applying a humanistic and balanced approach for greater harmony with life and land. These days\, you will find Stacy planting cover crops\, grazing sheep\, and diversifying both plant\, animal\, and human activity on the farm. Her vision is to create an outdoor learning environment that is accessible for students\, teachers\, and farmers where the land and people learn from each other. \n\n\n\nCommunity WorkFounder\, Wisdom of the Fool\, a nonprofit supporting local environmental educationSponsor and Co-Creator\, Santa Barbara High School\, GreenLab Outdoor ClassroomBoard Member\, Emeritus\, AHA! an educational nonprofit for at-risk teensAuthor\, The Colonized Child and Listen to the ChildrenUSC Civic Engagement Board of Councilors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCorey Welles – Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nManager of Sustainability\, Lotusland \n\n\n\nCorey Welles is a well-known horticulturist in the botanic garden world\, and a definitive expert on the famous Ganna Walska Lotusland garden in Santa Barbara CA. Lotusland encompasses 37+ acres of exotic and rare flora composed in 14 magnificent historic gardens. \n\n\n\nUnder Welles guidance\, Madame Ganna Walska’s Lotusland estate contains gardens of exceptional health and creativity with botanical and horticultural depth. The estate has a large rare cycad collection garden\, containing some rare plant species no longer extant in their original native habitat. The gardens were created over four decades by Madame Ganna Walska\, an opera singer\, who owned the property as a private residence from 1941 until her death in 1984. \n\n\n\nFor the past 20 years\, Welles has managed the plant domains at Lotusland\, one of the nation’s premier exotic gardens\, which has earned him numerous garden awards. He is recognized for being the leader in the field of sustainable horticulture. \n\n\n\nMr. Welles is a graduate of the Santa Barbara City College Environmental Horticulture Program with expertise in botany\, zoology\, ornithology\, entomology and marine biology. As one of the leading sustainable horticultural experts\, he consults such groups as U.C. Berkeley Botanic Garden\, Descanso Gardens\, The Huntington Garden\, The Getty\, Santa Barbara City and other national and regional garden groups. \n\n\n\nIn demand as a public speaker\, his engagements take him across the country to address important botanical symposia. He is a recognized expert on how to implement and customize sustainable systems for garden landscapes. \n\n\n\nA former triathlon champion in the Southern California area Welles is also an inspirational teacher on how to successfully partner with and embrace the environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Lloyd-Butler – Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7th Generation Rancher \n\n\n\nThomas Lloyd-Butler\, is seventh generation Californian rancher\, avocado farmer and an investor. His ancestors acquired Rancho Santa Clara del Norte\, a Mexican land grant in 1864\, from its original grantee. Tom\, his two sons\, his two nephews and long-time staff share responsibilities for the ranch which includes include orchard pasture\, crop and environmentally sensitive riparian lands. They also look after the ranch’s historic main post\, which includes its stately main house\, Victorian era outbuildings\, and six acres of grounds and gardens with old and new collections of palms\, cycads\, unusual conifers\, and flowering plants in 10 differently themed gardens. \n\n\n\nRegenerative farming and gardening practices are not new at the ranch\, though practicing them with greater breadth and depth has intensified. Tom’s father was a believer in mulch\, and worked with Dr. Gordon Frankie at UC Berkeley in a program to encourage the ranch’s 126 species of native pollinators into avocado orchards. In the last four years\, this single – garden habitat experiment has been expanded substantially. Over 4 miles of habitat-supporting hedge rows have been added\, a mile-long riparian corridor\, rich in plant and animal life connects riparian habitat in the Santa Clara River to the central portion of the ranch\, and thousands of flowering perennials now surround the ranch’s orchards. Benefits are both environmental and economic. Increased bird and bat populations\, supported by trees have balanced insect and rodent populations. Higher natural nutrient contents in the soils from beneficial cover crops have diminished requirements for expensive fertilizers. Simple and scaleable regenerative farming practices have brought greater environmental and economic prosperity to the ranch than ever before. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatasha Elliott – Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLandscape Designer & Educator \n\n\n\nNatasha Elliott is the principle of the landscape design studio Sweet Smiling Landscapes. She is a licensed landscape contractor\, LEED\, an EPA-certified Water Wise designer\, and certified permaculture designer. Natasha has taught California-friendly landscape design for the Metropolitan Water District and landscape design and landscape drafting at Santa Barbara City College. She also has the privilege of serving on the board of directors for the Central Coast Green Building Council\, as well as the American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara where she is a chair for the Committee On The Environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Sheaffer – Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFarmer & Geologist \n\n\n\nAndy Sheaffer is a first-generation farmer growing avocados and lemons in western Ventura County. Andy and his family manage approximately 350 acres of avocados and 100 acres of lemons using regenerative principles\, focusing on improving soil health and increasing both nutrient density and yield. \n\n\n\nAndy was born and raised in Carpinteria\, CA. He attended Carpinteria High School and later UCSB on a partial athletic scholarship. He had a successful throwing career that earned him first team all American in the hammer throw- making it to the Olympic trials in New Orleans in 1992. This experience led him and a handful of teammates to spend a summer in Europe competing in track meets. While in Zermatt\, Switzerland\, he saw a machine that fascinated him. He spent the entire day hiking up to it to see what it was. It turned out to be a “walking excavator”. Upon returning to the states\, he began to work in the marine construction business\, all the while thinking of the machine he had discovered. In 1996 he found one for sale and bought it. He taught himself to operate it on his parent’s property. This was the beginning of a business that took him all over the country performing rock fall mitigation work. Indirectly\, the business is what led him to farming. People connected him with the knowledge of working with steep hillsides and when the farm came up for sale a number of people contacted him to see if he was interested in purchasing the challenging property that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. \n\n\n\nIn 2008\, he and his wife Kathy bought the 750-acre ranch called Vista Punta Gorda. When they bought the property\, they had already been married about 7 years and had three young kids. The farm had a lot of old trees and was being farmed conventionally. They studied the farm for a few years before making any major changes. They began transition to regenerative\, organic farming practices in 2011/12. In 2015\, Andy sold his construction business and became a full-time farmer. The farm has gone through many changes of the past 15 years of ownership\, not the least of which we loosing 200 acres of the most productive sections of the ranch in the Thomas fire and then replanting and managing those acres regeneratively over the last 4 years.
