September Meeting
Clayton Tschudy
San Diego Habitat Gardening

Alternate location: Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park

Monday, September 10  6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Many good books advocating for the benefits of habitat gardening have recently been published. Some of these resources provide good generalized advice for habitat design, but are overly broad, often without a focus on regional resources. Vibrant habitat design requires a local approach that details indigenous plant and animal species, examines the habitat structure of local plant communities, and addresses how the threats of introduced pests and climate change should be addressed to local resources from the gardener's perspective.


At our September meeting, Clayton Tschudy will give an overview of habitat garden design for the San Diego region, focusing on critical design elements, and some new, and unique, online resources.


Due to September 10 being a Jewish holiday, it is not possible to have our meeting at the Congregation Beth Israel so it will instead take place in the theater of the Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) in Balboa Park. Address and parking information is below.
  • Doors open at 6 PM with the presentations beginning at 6:45 PM.
  • Free for SDHS Members; $15 Non-members
  • Tickets available at the door. 
  • Parking is free in Balboa Park, and available behind the Fleet Science Center or The Nat. MoPA is at 1649 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101 and located across from the Lily Pond in Balboa Park.
