Among these are three Encephalartos woodii—one of the rarest plants on Earth\, extinct in the wild and preserved only in botanical gardens.   \n\n\n\nDuring the tour\, Paul and Tyler will discuss the garden’s role in global conservation efforts\, including strategies to protect these endangered species from extinction. You’ll learn about the challenges of cultivating cycads\, their unique adaptations\, and the sustainable practices employed to maintain their health and vitality. \n\n\n\nThis 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 insights into the meticulous care that preserves its legacy.Paths may be uneven so please wear appropriate footwear. \n\n\n\nReservations required and space is limited to 15 participants. For questions\, please call 805.969.9990 or reserve online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCycad Garden\n\n\n\nMany refer to the Jurassic Period as the “Age of Cycads.”Today\, these unusual cone-bearing plants are one the most threatened plant groups on the planet due to over-collecting\, deforestation\, agricultural clearing\, and urban sprawl. Lotusland cares for many species of cycads that are threatened — including five species in the collection that are believed to be extinct in the wild. Upon its completion\, Charles Glass\, a renowned plantsman who designed the garden\, told Madame Walska\, “This will be one of the greatest achievements of our lives.” Glass was not exaggerating. Lotusland’s collection is considered one of the most complete in any American public garden\, with over 450 specimens and almost half of the known species. \n\n\n\nNOTABLE SPECIES \n\n\n\nEncephalartos horridus\, E. trispinosus\, E. lehmannii\, E. heenanii\, E. latifrons\, E. ferox\, E. lanatus\, E. friderici-guilielmi\, Cycas revoluta\, Lepidozamia peroffskyana\, Ceratozamia latifolia\, Ceratozamia fuscoviridis\, Dioon oaxacensis\, Wollemia nobilis\, Jubaeopsis caffra

Organized by Professor Fabio Rambelli and composed by Daryl Jamieson\, this performance draws upon medieval Japanese concepts of music\, rhythm\, and place\, creating a profound dialogue between human artistry and nonhuman soundscapes. \n\n\n\nThis immersive piece is scored for four ancient Japanese instruments historically used in gagaku\, the ceremonial music of Japan’s imperial court\, Buddhist temples\, and Shinto shrines. These instruments\, largely unchanged since the 8th century\, preserve the sounds of ages past. Among them\, the ō-hichiriki and u were long-lost instruments that have only recently been reconstructed\, making this performance an exceptionally rare opportunity to hear them live\, even in Japan.The composition is performed from 5:00 – 6:00 PM\, during the Japanese Hour of the Monkey\, as birds\, winds\, and waters prepare for nightfall. A reception will follow. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThomas Piercy – Hichiriki & Ō-hichiriki\n\n\n\nA renowned clarinetist and hichiriki specialist\, Thomas Piercy is recognized for his mastery of both Western and Japanese woodwinds. His diverse career spans classical\, contemporary\, and traditional music\, and he has premiered numerous compositions blending Japanese and Western musical elements. As a hichiriki player\, he has trained with masters of gagaku and brings a deep understanding of its hauntingly expressive sound to this performance.Hichiriki & Ō-hichiriki – Double-reed wind instruments with a distinctive\, emotive tone \n\n\n\nA. Lish Lindsey – Ryūteki\n\n\n\nFlutist A. Lish Lindsey is a dedicated performer of historical and contemporary wind instruments\, specializing in both Western flutes and traditional Japanese flutes\, including the ryūteki. The ryūteki\, or “dragon flute\,” is a key instrument in gagaku\, its penetrating\, bright sound evoking the movement of celestial beings. Lindsey’s work as a performer and educator explores the cross-cultural connections between ancient and modern wind instruments.Ryūteki – A transverse flute that represents the sound of the dragon ascending to heaven \n\n\n\nRory Lindsay – Gaku-biwa\n\n\n\nHistorian and musician Rory Lindsay specializes in East Asian musical traditions\, with a particular focus on the gaku-biwa\, a plucked lute used in gagaku and Buddhist ritual music. The gaku-biwa has a deeply resonant tone\, often associated with storytelling and the evocation of spiritual landscapes. Lindsay’s research and performances bridge the worlds of academic scholarship and musical artistry\, bringing this rare instrument to life for modern audiences.Gaku-biwa – A plucked lute traditionally used in court and Buddhist music \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFabio Rambelli – Shō & U\n\n\n\nFabio Rambelli is a Distinguished Professor of Japanese Religions and Cultural History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and holds the International Shinto Foundation Chair of Shinto Studies. An accomplished player of the shō\, he has studied the ancient traditions of gagaku music and explores its meditative and cosmic dimensions in performance.
