Our guest at half past the hour was Barry Hoffer of Maples For All Seasons, one of the pre-eminent Maple experts in the country; his nursery supplies many varieties of Japanese Maples (and more) and he is expert in helping people select and care for these trees in various climates.
Edie Tanem was unable to attend the festivities, so for those looking for a list of Bay Area Gardening Events in the weeks ahead, look at last weeks’ show for the most current info. Calls, we did have — and lots of ’em all hour long; America’s Happy Gardener holds court on KSFO.
