Very informative and timely! My Chickering sage under fun sun is looking a bit dry and I was getting worried, but now I can breathe 😊. Thank you Scott!
I was sick of the water and air conditioning bill in the summer. I switched to a ca native garden specifically because of its summer dormancy. I love the low maintenance in the summer because it gives me more time to go out and have fun. My weekends are free to spend it with the family. I’m not “chained” to weekend yard work.
Expecting native plants to be green and attractive all year round is literally ignorant colonial thinking. Its not about what humans like, its about restoring native plants back where they belong. Mammals, rodents, birds, insects, even fungus all have a relationship with native plants. Those "dead" or dormant bushes are actually full of life
Thank you for the video! What about if you are about 3 miles from the coast with mountains fencing the desert (South San Diego very close to the border)?
Is that whole tree behind you during the intro the toyon you're referring to? I've planted a couple of toyon and that is bigger than what I expected them to be... Is that typical or an exceptionally big sample?
Hi, need recommendation. I am looking for 12"-18" tall and color full native plants to plant around 28" diameter footing at monument commercial street sign in Richmond Ca. Please, thanks
Hello! Although some of the inland California native plants that we recommend may work well in your region, it would be best to consult with your local California Native Plant Society specialists. You can find which Chapter your area belongs to here: (www.cnps.org/chapters/map).

Or maybe people enjoy a lush beautiful garden
You sound like a plant Nazi 😂
any thoughts on how to adjust summer watering when I also get summer fog at least through june and often when hot in the valleys?
