Your ticket includes your first glass of wine or Non-alcohol beverage, everything you need to design and arrange your own succulent pot to take home with you, and instruction from Janice. Janice Moody’s horticultural roots run deep—she grew up on a nursery that her family started in Half Moon Bay in the early 60’s (McCahon Nursery).  Although she majored in Dietetics at UC Davis, her inner passion for gardening never waned and after wearing many hats over the years, she finally found her true calling in life when she became a UC Master Gardener in 2010 and eventually started Seascapes Succulent Nursery and Garden Design in 2016.  She calls herself a jack of many trades, but a Master of only one—gardening.  She feels so fortunate to be able to work outdoors, doing what she loves most, and sharing her gardening knowledge with others. Space is limited, so book your space for this exclusive event now!
