Did you know that the horticultural staff of the UC Davis Arboretum have identified 100 tough, reliable plants that have been tested in the Arboretum? They are easy to grow, don’t need a lot of water, have few problems with pests or diseases, and provide outstanding qualities in the garden. Many of them are California native plants and support native birds and insects. Our speaker will discuss these “All-Star” native plants and describe their care and growing conditions.
Owner and designer Rebecca Schoenenberger has a diverse background in sustainability and natural systems. With an Associate of Science in Park Management and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies, she has an extensive knowledge of native plants, including selecting which plants will thrive in specific locations. Since 2011, Rebecca has also been a volunteer Santa Clara County Master Gardener.
