The Fab Four: Buckwheats, Ceanothus, Manzanitas and Sages 
Wednesday, July 13, 2016 07:00pm
 
Contact (650) 948-7683

These four families of California native plants can provide a wealth of drought-tolerant variety to your garden. Get to know a few of them and you’ll have flower color and habitat all year. Buckwheats and sages can be annuals, perennials, and subshrubs, while ceanothus and manzanita are typically groundcovers, shrubs, and small “trees.” Come hear about a few of the speaker’s favorite members of these families. It’ll be SO hard for him to choose just a few!
