    Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival into Balboa Park By Iris H.W. Engstrand G. Aubrey Davidson’s laudatory address to an excited crowd attending the opening of the Panama-California Exposition on January 1, 1915, gave no inkling that the Spanish Colonial architectural legacy that is so familiar to San Diegans today was ever in doubt. The buildings of this exposition have not been thrown up with the careless unconcern that characterizes a transient pleasure resort. They are part of the surroundings, with the aspect of permanence and far-seeing design...Here is pictured this happy combination of splendid temples, the story of the friars, the thrilling tale of the pioneers, the orderly conquest of commerce, coupled with the hopes of an El Dorado where life 1 can expand in this fragrant land of opportunity. G Aubrey Davidson, ca. 1915. ©SDHC #UT: 9112.1. As early as 1909, Davidson, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, had suggested that San Diego hold an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. When City Park was selected as the site in 1910, it seemed appropriate to rename the park for Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, who had discovered the Pacific Ocean and claimed the Iris H. W.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nov. 16, 2010 CONTACTS: Susan Turner­Lowe, 626­405­2147 or [email protected] Thea M. Page, 626­405­2260 or [email protected] GIFT FROM BRODY ESTATE REPRESENTS “A REMARKABLE MOMENT FOR THE INSTITUTION, AND A GREAT CHALLENGE” Expected to yield more than $100 million, gift will help provide much­needed financial stability SAN MARINO, Calif.—A gift from the estate of Frances Lasker Brody to The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens is expected to yield in excess of $100 million, the largest single cash gift to the institution and one that will go a great distance toward providing much­needed financial stability, says Huntington President Steven S. Koblik. The equivalent of a 40 percent increase of the institution’s endowment, Brody’s gift also will require intense fiscal discipline to ensure it has the long­term impact the donor intended, he says. Brody, who died in November 2009 at the age of 93, served as a member of The Huntington’s Board of Overseers for 20 years. The Huntington received $15 million from her estate in October and another $80 million last week. Brody’s house, a landmark midcentury modern structure by A. Quincy Jones, is on the market for more than $24 million; income from that sale will also be distributed to The Huntington. Brody Gift to The Huntington Page 2 of 4 “We are overwhelmed by Francie’s generosity and her vision,” says Koblik. “She was an extraordinary woman with a fierce intellect who thought strategically and was completely tuned in to The Huntington’s challenges, its culture, and its capacity.

Introduction lants, like all living organisms, have basic needs: a source of nutrition (food), Pwater, space in which to live, air, and optimal temperatures in order to grow and reproduce. For most plants, these needs are summarized as light, air, water, and nutrients (known by the acronym LAWN). Students will conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need air in order to survive and grow. II. Objectives ♦ Students will learn how to conduct an experiment and use this knowledge to gather data about how plants respond to being providedwith or deprived of air. ♦ After making observations and measurements, students will analyze their data to draw conclusions about basic plant needs.

  • How Gardens Can Inspire Calm and Teach Life Lessons
    Botanical Activity Guide How Gardens Can Inspire Calm and Teach Life Lessons School Programs and Partnerships Welcome to The Huntington! This activity guide is based on seven of the 16 themed gardens at The Huntington. The Herb Garden was established in the 1970s and is designed to showcase herbs in four general categories of use: Medicinal, Culinary/Flavor, Cosmetic and Perfume, and Dyes/Fibers The Shakespeare Garden features plants with a variety of textures and colors, a number of which were mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays, that were grown during the 1500–1600s, or have connections to plants of the Renaissance. The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science is a 16,000-sq.-ft. greenhouse with a plant lab and three different plant habitats: a lowland tropical rainforest, a cloud forest, and a carnivorous plant bog. The Desert Garden, established more than a century ago, hosts approximately 2,000 succulent species and highlights the ways plants have adapted to survive heat, drought, and animal predators. The Ranch Garden is a teaching garden where gardening techniques are demonstrated and experimental concepts are tested. It is home to fruit trees, vegetables, perennial herbs, native shrubs, and reseeding annuals. The Brody California Garden is filled with native and other Mediterranean-climate plants that can thrive in southern California. It is punctuated with fruit trees that reflect the estate’s agricultural roots. The Rose Garden, established in 1908 and a favorite of founders Henry and Arabella Huntington, showcases more than 3,000 individual rose plants and more than 1,200 different cultivated varieties.
