Winds on Jan. 21 closed California Botanic Garden by toppling 70-plus huge trees that will cost $100,000 to remove — money the garden doesn't have.
If we make mindful decisions about our personal habitat, we can take big steps toward protecting our planet in 2022.
The garden has a catalog of every tree in its 86 acres, but it can’t freeze the acorn seeds that allow them to be replanted, McDade said. “They turn to mush when they come out of the freezer,” she said, so the garden’s horticulturists will have to visit native stands of the damaged oaks to gather more acorns for replanting.
And then there was the small mountain of palm fronds that had to be removed from the entrance to the administrative office. the wind knocked out the entire skirt of brown fronds on a California native fan palm next to the building, breaking out a third-floor window, destroying a canopy and blocking the main door.
Volunteers will likely be needed next winter when the garden starts replanting, but the damaged trees and plants must be cataloged and removed first. The garden doesn’t do planting in the spring or summer because the heat can damage tender seedlings, so replanting likely won’t start before late fall or the winter, McDade explained.
