Join us for this engaging in-person talk and photo expedition with succulent plant expert Fred Dortort as he shares images of the many unusual succulent plants he encountered during his trip to the East African nation of Kenya. In addition to plants, Fred captures striking landscapes, unusual animal sightings, and photos of some of the many interesting people he met, among them indigenous tribal people, contemporary urban and rural residents, and the occasional ‘succulent plant nut’.
Fred will also highlight some plants from this region represented in the Garden’s collection.
The presenter: Fred Dortort, the author of The Timber Press Guide to Succulent Plants of the Worldas well as many magazine and journal articles, has been a grower of succulent plants and cacti, as well as a volunteer at the Botanical Garden, for over forty years.
