Meeting Activities: Speaker, Seed Exchange, Master Gardeners (available for questions)

Guest Speaker: Darryl Cheng

Topic: Light, Most Important, Least Understood

Outdoor gardeners generally have a good sense of their sunlight exposure and indoor grow ops have well documented instructions to follow - but houseplant owners are left with vague, hand-wavy directions like "bright indirect light" - which leads to dramatically different interpretations and results. In this talk, Darryl will reveal the secrets to understanding light with a particular focus on how it applies to houseplants - comparing natural light and grow lights. You will finally be able to make sense of light!

Darryl will be bringing light meters and his books to sell at this meeting.
