A 27 Year Wildflower Journey, the Making of Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change
Just about everyone knows the climate is changing but we rarely hear how climate change impacts the natural world. Plants and wildflowers support most life on land and climate change is significantly affecting wildflower blooms and the bounty they offer wildlife. Marin conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter give us a spectacular view of California’s extraordinary wildflowers, as both a cause for celebration and protection, in Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change.

Theodore Payne Foundation's Poppy Hour Video:
One of our authors, Genevieve Arnold, Seed Program Manager at Theodore Payne Foundation is featured in this video. She wrote a wonderful story about seed banking for us. This video will begin with Genevieve introducing you to California's native plant seeds. She will also discuss TPF’s role in preserving genetic plant diversity in the urban environment. https://youtu.be/yYlY_y7FSS8
