It’s Manzanita Day 2021!

 

Last year, for the first time in Manzanita history, a beloved plant got its own holiday.

“Whereas: the City of Manzanita has proudly shared its name with the beautiful shrub, manzanita, for more than one hundred years…”, the proclamation stated, “I, Mike Scott, Mayor of Manzanita Oregon, hereby declare March 31st Manzanita Day.”

One year later, the idea of a March 31st holiday is looking particularly
inviting. Who can argue with a neighborly, non-partisan celebration of the shrub that spells home!

So here’s what we’ve got going on for Manzanita Day 2021

KETZEL LEVINE WEBINAR
How to Kill A Manzanita and other Dark Tales from the Wonder Garden

What’s a Manzanita Day without some good shtick? (Or is that sticks? Yikes). This year’s speaker is our own Ketzel Levine, curator of the Hoffman Wonder Garden and a nationally recognized plant expert. For reasons too well known, Ketzel’s talk will be on Zoom.
