Bringing Home the Baby from the Ruth Bancroft Garden

Last Friday I noted that the Ruth Bancroft Garden was holding their summer sale over the weekend and I stopped by to pick up some drought-resistant plants, including this beauty called Agave gentryi “La Encantada” which can be seen in front of the Ruth Bancroft garden. If you look closely you can see a hand at right, which is the gardener preparing to detach the offshoot from the mother plant. You can see the offshoot which I took home below:

There were plenty of docents, gardeners and volunteers to help out answering questions and offering suggestions. I highly recommend checking out the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek to check out the amazing showcase of drought resistant plants.
