A big thank you to Hiroshima Botanical Garden (HBG) for sending the 2025 batch of seeds to our regional hubs, the San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) and the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE). Pictured left, Joe DeWolf receiving the precious package.
Dr. Ari Novy, president of the San Diego Botanic Garden and GLH scientific advisor and partner gave an online interview to the Chugoku Shimbun newspaper’s young reporters, students from middle and high schools in Hiroshima. The students asked him about his discovery of Hibakujumoku and GLH, the reason SDBG became a regional hub, his work and love of plants, and many other questions. The article was published on December 2, 2024.
Grateful to GLH partner and regional hub the San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) for hosting a special commemoration ceremony at the exact time of the ceremony in Hiroshima — staff and docents gathered around the Hiroshima Ginkgo in a moment of silence led by GLH coordinator Nassrine Azimi, and heard from SDBG staff Jessica Monahan and curator of Hiroshima seeds and saplings Joe DeWolf.
