The Gardening With Natives email discussion group provides a forum for those interested in growing California native plants -- in their home gardens, parking strips, school gardens, parks, and elsewhere.

This group is a forum for communication, for asking questions, and for offering helpful answers. Members come from all backgrounds, from beginners to experts. This forum is particularly welcoming of those new to native plant gardening; they are encouraged to join and post their questions.

Announcements of native plant gardening events in the Bay Area and around the state are also sent to the group.

This moderated group is open to all. It has over 1400 members, and traffic ranges from 3 to 7 messages a day.
