Pellaea rotundifolia from New Zealand is a charming fast grower cultivated for its arching leaves and dark green, buttonlike leaflets. This tough little fern tolerates dry conditions and contrasts nicely when planted with finer, more delicately textured ferns in the garden. Pellaea rotundifolia can be found in the East Asia and Australia Gardens and in this month's In Bloom feature, complete with photos, plant profile and exact locations.
From the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
On September 26 we had a wonderful party under a tent on the Great Meadow with 500 friends.

Membership
Looking for a way to simplify your life?
Become a Garden Keeper
 A new membership category, Garden Keeper, was launched this year for members who prefer to make recurring gifts to the Garden. As a Garden Keeper, you make an ongoing monthly gift of support. Recurring gifts are not only a convenient, safe and secure way to make donations, they are the most effective means of raising support for SFBGS, allowing more of your donation to go directly to the many high-quality programs at the Garden.
You may even be able to double or triple the impact of your recurring gift to the Garden if your employer offers a matching gift program!
Find out more information on becoming a Garden Keeper or call (415) 564-3239, ext. 303.
