Description

Explore using California native plants in the garden not only for their beauty and appropriateness in our climate but also to help develop and recapture a respect of nature and our place in it. Topics covered will include an overview of Native American views and uses of plants and how they shaped the landscape of California. Their uses of plants created habitats for beneficial wildlife, and they used native plants as sources of food, dyes, medicines and fiber. A list of natives that work well in the Bay Area will also be covered along with cultural information on how to use them.
