Dylan Zoller, our September Speaker - Biography:
Dylan grew up in Laguna Beach with a strong interest in exotic cultivated plants. At the time, starting with palms, cacti, and succulents. Since then has been growing a variety of plants, many of which are terrestrial/xeric bromeliads. Now working at Sherman Botanical Gardens, he maintains the Succulent and Bromeliad gardens and their associated off display collections. Dylan has as well traveled extensively throughout eastern Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia. These trips focus primarily on photographing and discovering obscure bromeliads.
In September we will continue raffling a big bunch of fresh plants that were acquired at the World Bromeliad Conference, held back in May in West Palm Beach.
