Here is our nursery and many varieties of plants.
Our native garden…this is
just the first step in adding natives to our front yard.
Phase 1
Here’s an example of how you can start integrating
your landscaping with natives, and have a beautiful garden while saving water
and providing a natural habitat.
We took a small corner of the yard, dug up the grass, added a mixture of
soil and wood chips to make a mound, and added some rocks. In this photo on the left, we’ve
planted muhlenbergia rigens
(deer grass), epilobium canum
(California fuschia), salvia leucophylla ‘Pt. Sal’,
and Santa Barbara daisy.
This garden was planted at the end of May 2009 with 4 1/2” pots from our
nursery. Once in the ground they
grew rapidly. This is just one
affordable way to get started
Phase 2 – This section
was planted October 2009.
