JOHN
| John Macdonald retired in 1997 as a sergeant, after 32 years with the CHP. One of his post retirement pursuits was to photograph wildflowers. He came to Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden to learn more about native plants and took a class from Michael Wall. He learned of the volunteer prorgam and then served as a volunteer for 15 years. He spent much of that time photographing seeds which, in turn, led to the development of this publication. In 2016 he became a Research Associate at CalBG. |
MICHAEL
| Michael Wall retired in 2012 from the RSABG Seed Curator and Program Manager position. |
