Come to learn why CA native plants are all the rage! Discover why and how using native plants in your landscape can help make up for habitat lost to development.
Because native plants have co-evolved with native birds, butterflies, bees, other beneficial insects and mammals, planting them in your garden helps to maintain these populations.
We will discuss what a native plant is, why they are the cornerstone of a sustainable, Earth-friendly garden, and the many benefits these gorgeous plants offer the gardener as well as the broader environment. Participants will learn which natives to grow and how to care for them.
By using native plants, you can build a beautiful landscape that uses less water and fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
