We Heart Natives!

There are, shall we say, some perks to gardening in California. The weather is nothing to complain about, we can grow an insane assortment of things from all over the world, and the local selection of flora? It cannot be beat. We LOVE us some native plants!! We try more and more of them every year and are constantly inspired by their beauty and diversity. Native wildflowers are - statement of obvious ahead - totally beautiful and also adapted to our own soils and seasons. They enrich our local ecology by providing sustenance to local wildlife, most reseed in the garden for successive generations of FREE plants, they thrive with very little assistance and deal with drought and disease with aplomb. They have been here much longer than we have, after all. Sadly, many of our native plants are becoming increasingly scarce due to overgrazing, over development, and non-native thugs. Saving space for natives in your own garden helps preserve our California heritage for the future and it makes for some fine gardening, too!
