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.
