Not only does he expect them to be going beyond maintenance to creating more landscaped areas, but he hopes that they have something to teach the rest of the community. That philosophy played out at the recent winter home and gardening show at Cal Expo. With the help of a dozen volunteers from the Grounds Division, Geneto set up a UC Davis booth. UC Davis gave away more than 1,000 cork-oak seedlings. The UC Davis representatives also passed out fliers inviting people to come to UC Davis and see what they can learn about landscaping from the campus and arboretum resources.
People can come see a mature specimen before they buy one.
Geneto also hopes to continue and expand the tradition of working with interested units who want to improve their landscaping.
