Garden Conversations
Join us for the second Garden Conversations series of 2026 as we explore Lotusland’s immersive Insectary Garden.
Led by Chris Ziliotto, Sustainability Program Manager, this intimate, members-only experience invites you to take a deeper look at the intricacies of maintaining this garden, getting up close with its most notable species, and enjoying the rare opportunity to ask questions directly to the staff who know the garden best. Spend the morning discovering the sustainable gardening practices that support these thriving native plants.
This event is designed for members who are already familiar with Lotusland and wish to deepen their understanding of its living collections. Engage directly with the experts who steward this extraordinary garden and gain insight into the meticulous care that preserves its legacy.
Paths may be uneven, please wear appropriate footwear.
Reservations required and space is limited to 15 participants. For questions, please call 805.969.9990 or reserve online.
