In Search of Alpines in the Sierra Nevada
with Michael Uhler
​
Join Michael in his search for alpine plants of California’s Sierra Nevada to grow in the crevice garden at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden.
Michael has been gardening professionally full time since 1987. The last 20 years he has spent collecting, growing and curating California’s Sierra Nevada flora at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden in the hills above Berkeley. You can find an article Michael wrote in the July 2021 NARGS Quarterly all about building and
planting the crevice garden.
