Tomatomania Comes to Arboretum for the First Time

Scott Daigre (Mr Tomatomania)

A Louisiana native who comes from a long line of gardeners, Scott Daigre’s passion was “seeded” in his family garden. He made a radical career shift from marketing to the garden industry in the early 90s and it was at Hortus that his career path intersected with TOMATOMANIA! After branching out into garden design in Los Angeles, Scott planted roots in Ojai, now home to his garden design company, PowerPlant. In addition to being a certified Tomatomaniac, he is also a published author and educator who has been featured in gardening and lifestyle publications and is a frequent guest on radio and TV programs. Scott will give a talk at 10am. Hundreds of heirloom and hybrid seedlings will for sale at the Gift Shop. The Spring Plant Sale continues April 7-10.

TOMATOMANIA Scott Daigre Talk will be held Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Tomatomania Sale follows at Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden (301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia). Admission is $4.00 to $9.00. Arboretum members are free.
