Meadowlands, a private residential garden in San Jose, has been cultiv ated for over 20 years, starting from a lifeless patch of subsoil, stripped bare during the house construction in 1996. Initially it was planted as a mix of native and exotic drought-tolerant plants. From about the year 2000 onwards, only native plants were added. Currently, the garden is at least 9 5% California native, and boasts a collection of over 300 species and cultivars of California natives.

The main feature of the garden is a large collection of California lilacs (ceanothus), with over 60 different species and cultivars, most of them having grown to matu re size. Ceanothus seedlings have volunteered in the garden in recent years ; most of them are unique hybrids and about 50 of these have reached flower ing stage.

The wide variety of native plans and large brush piles att ract numerous wildlife. Visitors include jackrabbits, skunks, lizards, frog s, toads, snakes and many birds and insects. Several years ago, a covey of California quail made its home in the thickets of big saltbush (Atriplex le ntiformis) and other low-growing shrubs. The garden is frequently on the Go ing Native Garden Tour (gngt.org/Meadowlands_GNGT).
