This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we revisit a show from 2017 when UC MG Ann Liu traveled to and interviewed Michael Dehart, Grounds and Gardens Supervisor at the Getty Villa in Malibu, CA. Together, they take listeners through a tour of the four gardens: Outer/Inner Peristyles, Herb Garden, and East Garden. You’ll note that this show was recorded before the devastating fires in 2025. This date of broadcast is 1 ½ years since the fire. The surrounding landscape has recovered with typical “fire followers”. Ash-loving Phacelia grandiflora is a great example. However, 44% of the Villa’s forest were removed due to the fire. But the plants within the courtyards were saved. Imagine this! J. Paul Getty’s inspiration for this site was the Villa of Papyri (Scrolls) near the ancient Vesuvius eruption site. How similar are the consequences between the eruption and the wildfire? How rich is the Greek and Roman mythology and culture woven into garden design and plant selections. Imagine how Roman citizens ate many of the same fruits and vegetables we enjoy today. Our in-studio MG host will let you know about upcoming events sponsored by UCCE Master Gardeners of Orange County.
