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.
