Presented by Pam Hamamoto
“Some you know, and some I’ll bet you don’t!” That’s what Pam is teasing us with for this informative presentation on shrubs for our area. She also promises that most of them are low-water-using while others are even no-water-using! And, best of all, most have been ordered for the big plant sale.

Presented by Larry Stebbins, Pikes Peak Urban Gardens
In what has become a tradition, Larry Stebbins, the pied piper of vegetables in Colorado Springs, will present our January library lecture. Come hear how Queen Elizabeth I almost poisoned her guests by serving the wrong part of a vegetable. Learn what color carrots were three hundred years ago. Do you know what vegetable was found in Montezuma’s garden in 1519 by the invading Spaniards? All of this and more will be included in this light-hearted but informative presentation. It will be a guaranteed good time for fun and old alike.
