More Helping Hands

Martin Grantham was the garden curator for seven years. An expert propagator, he studied botany at UC Davis and mycology at UC Berkeley. He has worked for many Bay Area institutions, including 10 years with the University of California Botanical Garden (UCBG) at Berkeley. Currently Greenhouse Manager for the Biology Department at San Francisco State University and active in the International Plant Propagators Society, he teaches propagation workshops and horticulture classes for East Bay Parks Botanic Garden and City College of San Francisco as well as writing articles for horticultural journals. He added many unusual plants to the Harland Hand Memorial Garden collection.

In the summer of 2002, Chanticleer Garden in Pennsylvania sent Jonathan Wright to work in the garden. A talented horticulturist and designer who was completing his two-year Chanticleer Fellowship, Jonathan trained at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and worked during his fellowship at Denver Botanic Gardens, The National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kauai, Hawaii, Peckerwood Garden in Hempstead, Texas, and Lotusland in Montecito, California. Now back at Chanticleer, Jonathan continues to contribute to the Harland Hand Garden's rare plant collection.

Bhakti, the resident elf, joyfully greeted all visitors during her four-year stay. She left for the Eternal Garden in October 2004. The memorial rockery in the woods has white quartz and white flowers and her favorite garden toy.

A digging dog and hunter, Tashi is an exuberant toy poodle who romps in the garden, barks at deer, and picks blueberries.
