Is your garden a “bar” that only offers nectar to adult butterflies but no food for their offspring? Do the birds and bees visiting your garden have everything they need to raise the next generation? By growing California native plants that feed your local ecosystem, you can:
Attract more bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife to your garden
Help save local species that are in decline
Enjoy a lush, low water landscape
Engage with neighbors to build back habitat throughout your community
Join us for this lively discussion as we explore the best California native plants for boosting biodiversity in our gardens and beyond. Attendees will receive a free packet of California native wildflowers to try out in their own gardens.
