| Daisy Mah is a founding member of the Sacramento Perennial Plant Club. A many times past president and program chair, she was instrumental in getting our club up and running. Daisy works as a supervisor for William Land Park, and is responsible for a large section of the grounds. Living on a small lot in mid-town Sacramento, Daisy has little room to garden on her own property. A unique gardening opportunity came her way when clearing an overgrown, neglected area of the park. She uncovered a terraced slope with a small artificial stream running through it, just to the north of Fairytale Town. Research uncovered that the site was a WPA project from the depression era. Daisy began planting the area with all the rare and unusual plants she had been keeping in pots on her own small property. Soon the old abandoned shrubbery became the jewel of the park. Daisy struggles with having to water by hose, since there is no irrigation system, and copes with damage from careless visitors, but she is grateful for the opportunity to have a large garden to work in. The site has ample free parking next to it, and visitors dropping by during normal work hours stand a good chance of finding her tending the garden, and willing to give a spontaneous tour. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
