For nearly 40 years, Ernesto Sandoval has explored and explained why plants grow and look the way they do. He shares his knowledge with a diverse audience, from amateur to professional gardeners, and frequently lectures to Western Garden Clubs and succulent clubs in California. Passionate about desert plants, he describes himself as a “Jose of All Plants, Master of None” and enjoys learning from others’ experiences. His curiosity began at age 13, questioning his father’s pruning methods. This led him to earn a Botany degree from UC Davis and progress from student weeder/waterer to Director at the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory. Currently, he is pursuing a Master’s in Horticulture and Agronomy, with the possibility of a PhD, at UC Davis.
