Join Patrick Pizzo and Vivian Neou for a tour of the native plant gardens in Jeffrey Fontana Park and along Capitancillos Drive. Finding plants that look attractive in late summer can be challenging for native plant gardeners. Two native plant gardens in San Jose provide beautiful examples of plants that look good even during our hottest months. Pat is the driving force behind both of these gardens, and you'll have the opportunity to hear about their evolution and to learn from his experiences. This is a great way to prepare for fall plant sales -- starting with our upcoming Monthly Member Plant Saleon August 29th.
A description of the gardens and associated plant lists can be found at:
