Meeting Program:
Cactus 101:
Growing An Addiction
Presented by Jerry McNulty
Presentation Description:
Cactus 101, Growing An Addiction.
Jerry McNulty grew up on the outskirts of the Mojave Desert, where he developed a deep appreciation for plants, wildlife, and the importance of protecting their unique habitats. He spent countless nights hiking, backpacking, and sleeping under the stars—experiences that shaped his lifelong passion for the natural world.
Over the years, Jerry has propagated and grown thousands of plants from seed, working with a wide range of species and mastering the art of seed germination and dormancy. He served on the board of the Guadalupe County Master Gardeners and was President in 2020 during the challenges of COVID.
Jerry taught plant propagation for several years as part of the Master Gardener program and has spoken at numerous county and community events on a variety of horticultural topics.
He is currently a member of SACXS and actively contributes to the Legacy Project.
In his spare time, Jerry enjoys long walks on the beach—and tackling the mysteries of complicated seed dormancy.
Visitors are Welcome!
