9402 Oak St, Bellflower • 1PM
Rob began collecting plants nearly 20 years ago, initially purchasing them from a local nursery in San Felipe, Baja California, to landscape a friend’s property in Puertecitos. About 15 years ago, he purchased a home in Riverside and transformed his half-acre backyard by replacing the grass with rocks and cacti, later remodeling the front yard with aloes and rocks. Through these experiences, he met influential people, including a mentor who inspired him to deepen his knowledge of cacti and succulents. His mentor emphasized the importance of proper plant terminology, spelling, and scientific research, shaping his approach to plant cultivation and experimentation as a means of furthering his education.
