Online Webinar: Plant Hormones: Knowing & Managing Them for Better Results with Ernesto Sandoval. The Southern California Horticultural Society hosts Ernesto Sandoval, Director of the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory. Have you ever wondered why your plant has a sudden burst of growth after transplanting? Or how the plant “knows” to grow new parts when pruned, or how a cutting “knows” to make roots? Maybe you’ve pondered how a banana “knows” to ripen or why leaves suddenly turn yellow when you bring a new plant home. Sandoval has been wondering and seeking questions to why plants grow and look the way they do for quite a long time. When he was about 13 he asked his dad why one tree was pruned a particular way and another tree another way, and the answer was simply “because that’s the way you do it.” Ever since then he’s been learning and educating himself about the answer to that pruning question and so many others, first by getting a degree in Botany from UC Davis, and then through working for over 30 years at the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory in jobs beginning with student weeder/waterer, and culminating in his current position as Conservatory Director. In addition to his job at the conservatory, Sandoval is often explaining and interpreting the world of plants to audiences of all ages and experiences, ranging from K-12 to professionals. He regularly lectures to a variety of western garden clubs throughout the year - and to succulent plant clubs throughout California whenever possible, as desert and drought-tolerant plants are his specific passion within his general passion for plants. Sandoval describes himself as a “Jose of All Plants, Master of None” and thoroughly enjoys helping others, gardeners in particular, to understand why and how plants do what they do. Please tune in to discover why your plants grow as they do during this informative yet not so technical program, as Sandoval guides us in learning the ins and outs of how hormones affect plant growth. By gaining a better understanding of our plants’ physiology we can maximize their healthy growth - and in turn their benefits to us - with much less effort. And don’t forget to think about specific questions you may have for the Q & A session following the program.
