Kathy interviews former Parrot Jungle horticulturalist Nat DeLeon in front of a standing-room only crowd.
“Tell Your Story,” a standing-room only workshop on capturing oral histories, packed out the meeting room at our local library, last night. Kathy demonstrated interviewing and listening techniques in a conversation with Nat DeLeon, groundskeeper and horticulturalist at the historic Parrot Jungle, where the library now stands.
Carl taped the interview for the community archive and gave tips to would-be documentarians on how to get the best audio and video for their family histories.
The interview set-up for Kathy’s one-on-one with Parrot Jungle horticulturalist Nat DeLeon.
The interview covered the history of Parrot Jungle with insights into local history and Mr. DeLeon’s horticultural development of what is now “Pinecrest Gardens.”
