Cultivating native plants on the coast is a tradition reaching back through the centuries and is essential to preserving the beautiful scenery we love so well. Come journey with us to explore how Native Americans “gardened” coastside, how this wild land is being preserved in our parks today, and how you can plant a native garden which will add to this diversity. Each native plant and garden we add means more wildlife and native beauty. Join us and learn about all the resources you need to create your own coastside garden.
