Wildcat Canyon Rd and South Park Dr., Tilden Park. FREE EVENT Poppy Talk, The Luminous Relations of the California Poppy and Human Populations of the Bay Area and Beyond. Richard will walk us through stories of the Native American interactions, beliefs, and uses of the California Poppy; the change of worlds when the Spanish arrived here with their livestock herds in the late eighteenth century; how the poppy struggled to survive the Gold Rush and the big squeeze- the American-era land development; how the California Poppy's glowing gifts deeply permeated and rooted into the hearts and culture of California; and the wonderful story of the work of a self-taught pioneer woman botanist of the 1870s-1900s whose determined efforts elevated the poppy to the State Flower of California in 1903. Tilden Regional Parks Botanical Garden, Wayne Rodrick Lecture Series 1550 Wildcat Canyon Rd.

Richard will share many of these pieces and stories which reveal how the California poppy has mesmerized the people of California throughout time like no other flower. The Ohlone and Native Nations throughout Califonia have made culinary, medicinal, ceremonial, cosmetic, and secret use of this radiant and resilient plant. The California poppy deeply planted itself into all the human cultures who lived in California. Richard will share their amazing stories and the poppy's own journey. The bees and the poppy evolved hand-in-hand and the art and culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries often focused on that relationship, as the people who lived so close to the land were keen observers. Photo by Bob Case Pioneer Botanist and Oakland Resident Sarah Lemmon's determined ten-year effort to get the California poppy named the official California State Flower finally paid off on March 2, 1903. Richard will tell her story. The love of the California Poppy continues in our time. A California poppy mural on 1449 Oxford St., on the northeast corner of Oxford and Vine Sts., Berkeley is one of many poppy murals in the Bay Area. Biography: Richard Schwartz is a historian and the author of Eccentrics, Heroes, and Cutthroats of Old Berkeley; Earthquake Exodus, 1906; Berkeley 1900; and The Circle of Stones. Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he graduated from Temple University with a bachelor¡¯s degree in English Literature. An outdoor enthusiast and animal lover, Schwartz worked on a Pennsylvania Dutch farm for two years before heading west to find higher mountains. He fought forest fires for the US Forest Service in Tahoe National Forest. He now lives in Berkeley, California, where he worked as a building contractor and now documents early Native American sites in the Bay Area. The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty (April 2017) is his fifth book and was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library to be included in their special collection.
