Sandy Masuo
Sandy Masuo is an editor, educator, author, and conservationist on a mission to enlighten and to inspire wonder in the world around us. She currently serves as senior writer at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. Prior to that, she was the associate editor in the LA Zoo publications division for 18 years.
From 2010 to 2014, Sandy served on the Southern California Horticultural Society board of directors, and since 2010, has been an active member of the Association of Zoological Horticulture.
In 2016, she published her debut novel (as Rosana DuMas) - the story of a horticulturist detective investigating the dubious death of a zoo docent. She teaches fiction and business writing as well as a variety of classes from succulent gardening to birding at local community colleges. She holds a BA from Brown University and an Ed. M from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
With water conservation in mind, succulents and cacti are more popular than ever. Low maintenance and versatile, they are available everywhere - from specialty websites to supermarkets. But low maintenance is not the same as no maintenance, and some succulents can be as fussy as the most temperamental orchid or fern. Sandy will provide some fascinating natural history background about these unique plants as well as basic cultivation information to help you know and grow succulents, and hopefully inspire you to explore this remarkable group of plants.
