UC Master Gardener Presenters
Carmen Mahood: Carmen dug her first garden hole at age five and has been a gardener ever since. She maintains a large garden surrounding her home in Belmont. She had a long career in education and was an art guide at the San Francisco Museums of Fine Art for over a decade. Her particular gardening interests are oak trees, native plants and landscaping.
Dacotah Swett: Dacotah is a retired high school biology/chemistry teacher who has taught botany and horticulture classes and enjoys sharing tips for specific types of plants and their requirements to thrive in some of our more challenging microclimates and conditions. She is interested in the propagation and care of a wide range of plants, from species such as moss and ferns that are the first to colonize a bare piece of earth to the stately trees that live for centuries. Houseplants, vegetable gardening, garden design and planting native species to support wildlife in our backyards are all areas of interest.
