In this episode of the EarzUp! Podcast, the focus is on landscaping and horticulture at Disneyland, highlighting the great Bill Evans.

We jump into the challenges and intricate planning involved in creating the horticultural landscapes at Disneyland. From sourcing plants around Southern California, adapting non-native species to the Anaheim climate, to dealing with practical issues like irrigation and soil composition, Evans' ingenuity and passion for plants shine through.

She grew up in San Jose, California where she performed on stage at Children's Musical Theater San Jose. She had leading roles in The Wizard of Oz and Bye Bye Birdie, along with being a featured performer in a series of productions. She spent a year of middle school on tour with Annie, where she schooled at the theatre between shows. She was an avid skier and swimmer and had a passion for poetry. Cihi graduated from Presentation High School in San Jose, California in 1984. In 1978, at the age of 12, she was cast in the Broadway Second National Tour of Annie. She played the role of Pepper, the older orphan who bullies Annie, alongside a then unknown Molly Ringwald.[1] The 2nd National Touring Company (sometimes referred to as the West Coast or Los Angeles Production) opened in San Francisco on June 22, 1978. Cihi held the role for a year, before being deemed too tall. Shortly after high school, Cihi landed a job at Tokyo Disney, where she lived and performed for two years. At that time, she performed on the soundtrack of the anime City Hunter. After returning from Japan, she settled in Los Angeles, where she continued to perform in local theatre shows and sang in professional bands. In 1993, she joined the cast of Nickelodeon's Roundhouse for season 3 where she sang the theme song, acted in various sketches and sang several solos.
