Myrtle R. Wolf was a member of the California Native Plant Society and a horticulturist. She was one of the early members and participants of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and their annual sale of California native plants. Wolf witnessed the expansion of the CNPS with the addition of new chapters throughout California and the threatened closure of Tilden Botanic Gardens in 1978. Beyond the CNPS, Wolf was active in the California Horticultural Society, a Life Member and Honorary Trustee of the University of California Botanical Garden, a founder of the Tilden Regional Park Botanical Garden support group, a supporter of Strybing Arboretum, and Friends of the Jepson Herbarium, among many others. In this interview, Wolf discusses the circumstances of CNPS founding, her involvement, early activities of the group, formation of chapters, Proposition 13 on Tilden garden, changes of CNPS over the years, personal activities and interests, original and early members of CNPS such as James Roof and Wayne Roderick, East Bay Regional Parks District, UC Berkeley Department of Botany and Botanic Garden, women mentors and work opportunities in the 1930s and her current impressions of CNPS. This interview is part of a group of interviews documenting the California Native Plant Society and was donated to the Oral History Center.
