Come and meet Jan Timbrook, Curator of Ethnography at
the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and one of the leading
experts in Chumash studies and ethnobiology. The publication of her new
book, Chumash Ethnobotany: Plant Knowledge Among the Chumash People
of Southern California, represents a lifetime achievement. Based
on three decades of research and illustrated with beautiful botanical
watercolors by Oak Group artist Chris Chapman, this long-awaited book
explores fascinating relationships between native plants and the early
people of our region.
Join us as Jan leads us on a walk through the Garden to highlight some of
the plants and habitats used by the Chumash. A book signing will follow
the walk. Books will be available for sale at the Garden Shop.
