Join us at the Museum of Ventura County for the show GO WILD: WATTS AND SOJKA which centers on the novel Tree by Melina Sempill Watts and features a cycle of pieces by California plein air painter Jeff Sojka inspired by the book.
Growing native plants is the natural outgrowth of reading Tree and seeing Sojka's paintings -- what better way to go wild than to join Growing Works and Tinyplants at a native plants sale and bring the wild into your garden?
