Come learn to create and maintain your own native lawn. Native California lawns or meadows bring beauty and life to our gardens. With pockets of flowering annuals and perennials, they support our local birds, butterflies, and insects. And our own natives provide “lawns” that are better than European grasses, as they require less work and less water. Goodbye weed-, pesticide-, and water-filled sod. Hello grasses, sedges, annuals, and perennials. Hello biological diversity. Hello beauty!
Helen Popper is the author of California Native Gardening: A Month-by-Month Guide, and she designed, installed, and maintains her own native lawn. She is a long-time member of our Chapter of CNPS and one of the first Gardening with Natives group members. She is also an Associate Professor of Economics at Santa Clara University.
