UC Master Gardener Presenter Kimberly Swan spent decades experimenting in her small fog-challenged San Francisco backyard, joining UC Master Gardeners in 2022. Interests include soils, succulents, vegetables and perennials, and garden design, studying for several years with the Landscape Architecture program at UC Berkeley. Kimberly helps friends, family and community members transform their outdoor spaces into gardens that work for them — she led an effort to turn an elementary school in Haight-Ashbury from a barren paved lot into a multi-level thriving garden for play and curriculum. Kimberly is specializing in soils and loves sharing her passion with the public.
Ryan Guillou is the Director of Collections and Conservation for the Gardens of Golden Gate Park.
