Current Events
This page is here to list things happening around the world and here in SoCal, from good to bad to neutral.
Hopefully there’s more good than bad! And nowadays, it’d be nice if there were events too!
The first segment will be a calendar I’ll update on different things that are happening.
I’m using this space to keep not only my own research in order, but also go give others a chance to read what I’m looking at currently.

GLOW – at SCBG
Glow is happening at SCBG until January 10th, 2021. If you want to take a break from being stuck indoors – or take a break from more ‘normal’ plants – swing on by the garden to see the foliage in a new light! (Yes, that was a pun)
