The Laguna Beach Garden Club is excited to welcome Debra Lee Baldwin, the award-winning garden author and horticulturist credited with launching worldwide interest in succulents. Her three books on succulents are record-breaking bestsellers: Designing with Succulents, Succulent Container Gardens and Succulents Simplified. Debra spreads the word about “plants that drink responsibly” via articles, photos, videos, social media, public speaking, radio, podcasts, and TV. Her YouTube channel has nearly 6,000,000 views. Debra's popular, “Celebrate the Joy of Succulents” newsletter presents design, succulent gardening essentials, and “whatever I’m excited about and eager to share." Debra lives in San Diego’s North County, home to more succulent specialty nurseries and wholesale growers than anywhere else in the world.

Come discover fresh and delightful ways to use succulents in dry, coastal Southern CA gardens large and small. In an all-new presentation, renowned succulent expert Debra Lee Baldwin shows residential gardens from Santa Barbara to San Diego. She’ll explain why some of the most popular succulents— “colorful, fleshy-leaved plants from South Africa, Madagascar and the Canary Islands”—are better able to attain their full, beautiful potential here better than anywhere else in the USA.

Participate with the Laguna Beach Garden Club via a special Members Only Zoom on March 12 at 10am, when Debra Lee Baldwin will share her latest presentation tailored specifically for Laguna Beach Garden Club.
