San Antonio Rd.\, Los Altos DESCRIPTION:Native plants provide an abundance of resources for insects, bird and anima l life. The beneficial relationship between native plants and the wildlife that relies on them has been well established. Come to this talk to learn h ow selecting even a few California native plants for a garden or restoratio n plot can make a significant difference in the overall populations of bene ficial insects and animals. Gardeners with little experience can add to a l ocal pollinator pathway to support these critters as they browse our neighb orhoods. You may even find success in potted plants on patios or balconies. These scattered oases can become pollinator hubs of sorts, further boostin g populations of insects, lizards, birds and other animals.\nThe talk will be accompanied by a slideshow that includes numerous photos revealing the m any relationships between California native plants and the insects and anim als that rely on them. \nJohn Kehoe is a longtime member of CNPS and sees h imself as a California Naturalist, a citizen scientist, an occasional docen t and an environmental advocate. He frequently volunteers at Grassroots Eco logy habitat restoration events and various CNPS functions. You might see h im at BioBlitz events as well.

Native plants provide an abundance of resources for insects, bird and animal life. The beneficial relati onship between native plants and the wildlife that relies on them  ;has been well established. Come to this talk to learn how select ing even a few California native plants for a garden or rest oration plot can make a significant difference in the overall pop ulations of beneficial insects and animals. Gardeners with l ittle experience can add to a local pollinator pathway to support these critters as they browse our neighborhoods. You may ev en find success in potted plants on patios or balconies. These scatter ed oases can become pollinator hubs of sorts, further boosting populat ions of insects, lizards, birds and other animals.
