Southern California Botanists Symposium

The Future of Urban Botany in Southern California

Southern California Botanist’s 52nd Annual Symposium Where Cities Bloom will focus on the future of urban botany in southern California. We have an amazing lineup of speakers doing amazing things in our backyards. After the presentations, everyone will have the opportunity to roam the grounds at the California Botanic Garden while we turn the Forest Pavilion over for our poster session, mixer, catered reception, and a performance from Southern California’s very own plant-based punk rock band, Sage Against the Machine! As always, the poster session and mixer are free to all symposium registrants, but if you would like to attend the reception and the show, you must purchase a reception ticket.
