| IMPORTANT NEWS NEW meeting location: 3845 Spring Drive, Spring Valley, CA 91977 Our July Speaker: Pat Nolan
Pat Nolan our next speaker has always been interested in plants and the natural world. She found the union of those interests in plant pathology. She holds a B.S. in Plant Health Technology from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. in Plant Pathology from UC Davis. She has worked in the plant nursery industry, an ag biotech company, and for 27 years was the plant pathologist for the San Diego County Department of Agriculture. In retirement she stays current in her science by attending scientific meetings, working with the Master Gardeners to develop a class on fungi and attending San Diego Mycological Society meetings. crfgsd@gmail.com |
(This was a great opportunity to meet members from other chapters, hear interesting speakers on a variety of topics, and attend awesome tours. Plus, there were fruit tastings, plant sales, and vendor and sponsors tables.)
Many fruit growers may recall submitting forms and plant samples to the county (and indirectly to Pat) for help with identification of potential pests & plant diseases occurring their fruit trees. 
Bring your questions to the meeting, but understand ahead of time that Pat will only be able to address the most basic diagnoses during her public presentation. She will have Q & A, so be prepared with any plant histories, and very clear photos
