Who We Are:

The American Rhododendron Society is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage interest in and to disseminate information about the genus Rhododendron.  Members' experience ranges from novice to expert.  Society activities include public education, flower shows, seed exchanges, scientific studies, and communication through publications and local and national meetings.  ARS chapters are located throughout the United States and Canada and in Denmark, Finland, Holland, Scotland and Sweden.

The De Anza Chapter is composed of American Rhododendron Society members who hold meetings and sponsor events in the "Silicon-Valley" region of Northern California.  Non-members and guests are always welcome to attend Chapter meetings and events.

Devena's presentation will cover common birds found in the garden, how to attract and care for them, and discuss the importance of birds as natural "pest control" in our gardens.

Devena Gentry became interested in birding in 2010, after going to a songbird workshop presented by Coast Side Land & Trust of Half Moon Bay. She's been working with the Sequoia Audubon Society since 2020 and is enthusiastic about the environment and sharing the beauty, benefits, and habitats of birds with others.
