A Rapid Assessment Pl ot (RAP) inventory with over 80 plots documented more than 90 native specie s in the fertile grasslands, albeit often at low cover. We are investigatin g treatments to reduce annual weed seedlings just after germination, includ ing hydromechanical pulverization (HMP, basically pressure- washing the gra ssland) and close-mowing with string cutters. Once the flush of non-native annuals is cleared, extant native perennials can vegetatively expand and oc cupy space in a newly created clean seedbed.\nBesides commercially availabl e local seeds, we are using more than 15 species of “boutique” seeds grown at Edgewood Farms and the Native Garden.

Edgewood Natural Preserve near Redwood City is famous for its flower-f illed serpentine grasslands. But the 467 acres of Edgewood support great bi odiversity in the chaparral, oak woodlands, and grasslands on more fertile soils. The 100+ acres of fertile grasslands are by far the most weed-invade d habitat, and have been the focus of successful control of “macroweeds.”

Friends of Edgewood and Creekside Science are pursuing the goal of dec reasing “microweeds” and increasing native cover and diversity. A Rapid Ass essment Plot (RAP) inventory with over 80 plots documented more than 90 nat ive species in the fertile grasslands, albeit often at low cover. We are in vestigating treatments to reduce annual weed seedlings just after germinati on, including hydromechanical pulverization (HMP, basically pressure- washi ng the grassland) and close-mowing with string cutters. Once the flush of n on-native annuals is cleared, extant native perennials can vegetatively exp and and occupy space in a newly created clean seedbed.

Besides comm ercially available local seeds, we are using more than 15 species of “bouti que” seeds grown at Edgewood Farms and the Native Garden. We are trying to develop a long-term “indigenous” approach to restoration, whereby a beautif ul, colorful diversity of native plants is established and can spread naturally given occasional management. 

About our New Native Plant Lecture Series

The CNPS SCV Native Plant L ecture Series has something for everyone ̶ whether you’re curious about nat ive plants, an experienced or aspiring native plant gardener or a professio nal botanist, you will find something to interest and educate you in our of ferings.

Our General Meeting Program presentations, Gardening with Na tives (GWN) talks, and Going Native Garden Tour (GNGT) Live Sessions, will all be part of this series. From gardening to plant science to conservation to tours of botanical hot spots, if you’re interested in California’s nati ve plants, there’s something here for you.

Most of our lectures are i n the evening, although we occasionally schedule them during the day. Our t alks are live presentations followed by Q&As with the viewing audience. They are live streamed simultaneously to Zoom and YouTube. They are all re corded on YouTube, so you can see them later on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/CNPSSa ntaClaraValley.
