Jeff Moore has owned and operated Solana Succulents, north of San Diego, California, since 1992. It is a small retail specialty nursery, and he carries as much of the rare and unusual as possible, along with more common and colorful succulents. He has written five books - Under the Spell of Succulents, Aloes and Agaves, Soft Succulents, Spiny Succulents, and Agaves - Species, Cultivars and Hybrids.

Jeff's nursery has long been a destination for succulent enthusiasts and lovers of unusual, exotic and water-wise plants. SDHS has frequently hosted Jeff as one of our most popular monthly speakers.

Jeff's HOY award presentation will be followed by a talk given by him on Dudleyas, subject of his next book that will be available March 2024. Dudleyas are rare, native succulents that are best grown from seed. The book is coauthored by Jeremy Spath and Kelly Griffin.
