Pritzlaff Conservation Center phases of construction
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2015 was a year
focused on building –
our internal capacity,
our gardens, and a
new structure. The
Pritzlaff Conservation
Center (PCC) was under
construction all year
long, moving from
nothing but a hole in
the ground, to a truly
recognizable structure.
As the PCC took shape,
it was a wonderful metaphor for all the
other work going on at the Garden behind
the scenes.
Our Education Department added more
classes and workshops to reach a diverse
audience, while also attracting significant
grant support. Frédérique Lavoipierre
was promoted to Director of Education in
recognition of successes, and the department
continued to grow to 2.5 staff. This increased
capacity allows us to broaden our curriculum
which includes horticulture, botany, and
family programming.
We saw similar success in our Conservation
and Research Program, with the addition
of a Research Technician early in the year,
and the selection of our new Rare Plant
Botanist in December (though she will not
start with us until April 2016). This will bring
the number of full time conservation staff
2 Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
to four, in addition to the many fantastic
research associates who will move into the
new Conservation Center in May 2016.
Our gardens grew as well, as we installed
both the Maze and the Wooded Dell (both
projects funded by the Garden Club of
Santa Barbara) as well as the hardscape and
initial planting for the redevelopment of
our Water Wise Home Garden. All three of
these gardens will be ready for their grand
opening May 1, 2016. And to keep up with
our growing garden, we added additional
part time staff in accounting, the Garden
shop, and our visitor services department.
Most importantly, all the change and growth
this year at the Garden had one goal – to
safeguard the future of California’s native
plants. We are grateful to all the generous
supporters of our mission who make
this possible.
Sincerely,
Steve Windhager, Ph.D.
Executive Director
CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH
Flora of Catalina Island Draft Completed
The Garden's Plant Systematist, Matt Guilliams, completed a draft version of the book A Flora of Santa Catalina
Island. The draft was submitted to the Catalina Island
Conservancy at the end of 2015, and has an anticipated
publication date of late 2016. This book will serve as the
authoritative reference for all plant species of the island,
providing island visitors and biologists alike with detailed
information on the island and its incredible flora.
Nearly 3,000 Channel Islands Plant Specimens Processed
The Garden's Herbarium was a bustle of activity in 2015.
With a National Park Service contract to process over two
thousand specimens from the Channel Islands into the collection as well as an impending move to expanded space
in the new Pritzlaff Conservation Center, Matt Guilliams
and new Conservation Technician Chris Garoutte worked
with a greatly expanded volunteer group to meet our
deadlines. We accessioned nearly three thousand plant
specimens into the collection over this last year, many of
which came from the long career of former Garden taxonomist, Steve Junak.
Building capacity to conserve the central coast’s
rarest plants
Director of Conservation Denise Knapp worked hard to
bolster our rare plants program in 2015. Begun two decades ago by Dr. Dieter Wilken, this important program
has never had the luxury of a full-time position. This year,
we were able to hire a new full-time Rare Plant Biologist,
Dr. Heather Schneider, who will start in early 2016. We
also continued population and pollinator monitoring for
three locally rare species, focused on rare plant conservation at our annual Pritzlaff Conservation Symposium, and
brought six new plant species into our long-term seed
bank, which can be used for future restoration, research,
or just as an insurance policy against extinction. This last
effort was part of a new state-wide collaborative, the California Plant Rescue, which aims to safeguard all of the
state’s rarest plant species through seed banking. Native plant hedgerows on 3 local farms
We made great progress on our native plant hedgerows
project this year, which harnesses the power of natives
to support on-farm pollinator and pest control biodiversity, making them more sustainable. After networking to
find progressive farms willing to try this practice and con-
The red color in this San Nicolas Island landscape is from invasion of
crystalline iceplant.
ducting pilot pollinator monitoring in 2013 and 2014, we
worked to remove legal barriers to the practice in 2015,
and got deeper into planning the outreach components
of the project. By year’s end, Chris Garoutte and Denise
Knapp (along with dedicated volunteers and one high
school intern) installed hedgerows on three local farms,
which we will maintain and monitor in 2016 and beyond.
New restoration project on San Nicolas Island
Crystalline iceplant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum)
invades California coastal habitats, displacing native
plants and making soils more saline -- and likely altering insect communities as well. In 2015, Denise and Chris
began a project on San Nicolas Island that will see how
these impacts change as the iceplant becomes more dominant. Then we will use experimental techniques aiming to
restore native biodiversity, including not only the plants
and insects, but also biological soil crust organisms like
cyanobacteria and algae.

EDUCATION
Education at the Garden continues to offer a broad
range of opportunities to a diverse audience. An
increase in staffing expanded our reach, and we have
increased and improved classes, certificate programs
and public tours, and built on our well-established
School Tour Program. We have greatly improved
public visibility of our education programs, with a
redesign of both the Classes and Events listings on our
website, and the Ironwood Calendar. To maximize our
mission impact, we developed a plan for the Garden to
incorporate contemporary interpretive techniques into
our signage, volunteer and staff training, and digital
and printed media, and developed tools for evaluation
of Garden programs.
Citizen Science Club & California Naturalists
We have established a Citizen Science Club, acting as a
hub for training and dialogue on citizen science in the
community. We’ve added a citizen science page to our
website that features projects that can be conducted
on Garden grounds and at other sites. The UC Certified
California Naturalist Program, launched in 2012, serves
as a foundation for docent training, both at the Garden
and at other regional organizations. We now have over
100 program graduates who have enjoyed lectures, labs
and field trips with regional experts in natural history.
School Programs
A new web page features teacher resources that
facilitate watershed education in the classroom and
includes an extensive annotated list of resources
(with links), with instructions on writing place-based,
environmental curriculum, examples of activities for
both in and out of the classroom, and background
information. In 2015, our school tours served 1,741
students from 25 elementary schools in 10 districts,
including the Santa Barbara, Goleta Union, and Hope
School Districts. In addition, we offered 8 Science Nights
– doubling the number of schools visited in 2014 –
serving another 1,673 students who may not have access
E. Isaacs
to our onsite Garden education. In addition to our
school tours, we launched our summer tour program for
local camps offering five tours to 157 campers.
Docent & Self-guided Tours
Our docent corps is growing, and we offered 215 Docent-guided public tours serving 1,577 participants in
2015, and an additional 10 private scheduled tours for
170 adults. Self-guided group visits, including classes from UCSB, SBCC, Antioch and Westmont colleges
served 2,423 participants over 112 visits.
Public Education
We offer classes, workshops, field trips and lectures that
include horticulture, botany, family programming, arts
& letters, and travel. We offered 41 classes to 484 participants in 2015, and hosted 16 lectures for 583 participants. Our travel to the Channel Islands and on private
domecar train trips reached 295 participants. We host
regular meetings of the California Native Plant Society
Channel Islands Chapter.
4 Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
HORTICULTURE
2015 was a year of building at the Garden with several new gardens installed and building of the Pritzlaff
Conservation Center in full swing. The Garden was full
of energy even though our normally quiet and peaceful
atmosphere was regularly broken by the sound of tractors, jack-hammers and saws! A beautiful new redwood
bench, built by our master bench maker Dave Kershaw,
was installed at the entrance in honor of former director
Katherine Muller. In response to the continuing drought
we stopped watering on the Porter Trail and Tunnel Triangle and reduced watering Garden wide. For the most
part the living collections have survived but a wet 2016
would be a welcome event.
Home Demonstration Garden
In late 2015 we completely overhauled the Home
Demonstration Garden installing new paths with
permeable paving, removing some of the hardscape
elements and creating a new entry courtyard, dry creek
bed and rain garden. We removed most of the existing
plantings and revitalized
the soil with compost and
organic fertilizers. The
garden was replanted
with a palette of easy-togrow, beautiful natives
including monkey-flowers
(Diplacus), buckwheats
(Eriogonum), sages
(Salvia), and manzanitas
(Arctostaphylos). New
signage and exhibits
demonstrate how to store
and retain rainwater on
site, and how to use mulch and worm composting to
create a more sustainable, water-wise home garden.
Wooded Dell and Maze
The Garden partnered with the Garden Club of Santa
Barbara to create two new gardens to commemorate
the Club’s one hundredth anniversary. The first installed
was the Maze which is located in the canyon at the
Garden’s old island section. The maze was designed by
artist and Garden Club member Lenore Hughes and
planted in December 2014 using coyote brush (Baccharis
pilulariss).The Maze represents the anchoring element
for the future Backcountry Adventure Garden where
children will experience and learn about nature in an
informal way.
The Wooded Dell surrounds the Lockwood de Forest
designed Campbell Bench, one of the Garden’s historic
landmarked features. This beautiful bench had effectively been hidden for years by the overgrown vegetation
along the Campbell Trail. We took inspiration from the
Trail’s dedication plaque which reads: “A Trail through a
Wooded Dell dedicated to Peace and Meditation” when
designing the garden. A variety of large-leaved, decid-
uous trees and shrubs were planted to give the space a
lush, light-green look that contrasts with the dark green
of the surrounding live oak woodland. The Dell will have
its big, bright moment in early spring when the maples
(Acer macrophyllum), ashes (Fraxinus dipetla and F. velutina), redbuds (Cercis occidentalis), and currants (Ribes)
burst into leaf and flower. An understory of coral-bells
(Heuchera), ferns (Polypodium, Woodwardia and Drypoteris) columbine (Aquilegia), and iris are tied together by
an ingenious ribbon of leafy reed grass (Calamagrostis
foliosa) and California fescue (Festuca californica).
Meadow Revival Project
Renovation of the Meadow display has been underway
for the last three years and is still a work in progress.
Our goal is to return the Meadow to its historic
condition and reestablish the beloved wildflower
shows of years past. We have successfully restored the
original outline of the Meadow and meadow borders,
removed lawns, paths and large shrubs and worked
mightily to reduce the weed load. The spectacular show
of California poppy that graced the Meadow during
the spring of 2015 invoked
memories of decades past.
We are still working to
establish the Meadow’s
base planting of blue grama
grass which will hold the
space and provide visual
interest during the dry
season. About1000 new
plugs were planted in late
summer to replace those
that had not survived from
the initial planting in 2014.
Building Project
We grew a building this year! Slowly, but surely, the
Pritzlaff Conservation Center has emerged from the
ground. Starting as a big hole in the ground in January,
the building was fully formed – though not completed
- by the end of the year. Along the way there was a
tremendous amount of below-ground infrastructure
installed including three 15 thousand gallon water tanks
to collect rainwater off the site. A mountain of soil was
generated by all this work - most of which was used to
create a new, level work yard at the Hansen site. The
former work yard on the ridge above the horticulture
nursery is now a paved 35-space staff parking lot which
will help alleviate crowding in our main visitor lot.
The only impact to the main garden occurred when the
new sewer line was run up the main path in the Arroyo.
All the buildings on the west side of the Garden our now
connected to the sewer. The Horticulture department
has been busy planning and growing plants for the Island View garden which will surround the new building.
The garden will be comprised primarily of plants endemic
to the California and Baja California Channel islands. We
expect to install this garden in April 2016.

VOLUNTEERS
Horticulture Unit Team
As we looked forward to our 90TH Anniversary in 2016
and the five new planned public garden displays,
we knew this meant growing our volunteer support
team in the Hort Unit that help supply the plants for
the garden grounds. As a result, the volunteer hours
in our Horticulture Nursery increased nearly 45%
in 2015.
Volunteers in our Hort Unit, located on the east side
of Mission Canyon, propagate plants from seeds and
cuttings. Our volunteers collect and clean seeds from
the grounds and from scheduled field trips. Volunteers
staff the Hort Unit four days a week working alongside
our Plant Propagation Manager, Heather Wehnau and
Bonnie Whitney, Plant Propagation Assistant. The volunteers enjoy learning techniques for propagating and
growing native plants.
Research and Conservation Team
In preparation for the move into our new Pritzlaff
Research & Conservation Center new volunteers were
added to our Research & Conservation team helping
to mount & press the dried plant specimen collection
for our Herbarium. As a result, the volunteer hours in
this department increased.
