Event: January Meeting—2026
Speaker: Lorraine Van Kekerix
Topic: Spring Blooming Bulbs that Naturalize Well in Sacramento
Date: Thursday, January 22, 2026 • 7 p.m.
Location: Shepard Garden & Arts Center
3330 McKinley Blvd, Sacramento
Bulbs provide bright, cheerful pops of color in the winter/spring garden, then go dormant and disappear until the next fall/winter. A wide variety of plants are included in the bulb category. Some, but not all, bulbs can grow and thrive with limited water in our area.
Lorraine has 30 years experience growing bulbs in Sacramento limited water gardens. She will identify spring flowering bulbs that reproduce and naturalize in this area. Plus, discuss the kinds of conditions they need to thrive.
Lorraine has degrees from UC Davis and Utah State University. She is a Sacramento County Master Gardener and a past president of the Perennial Plant Club (PPC). She currently helps to organize the PPC plant sale, propagates plants (including bulbs) for the sale, and volunteers at many PPC events.
