Description
We began planting a California native garden in fall 2010 after purchasing our home a few months prior. The yard was a typical tract home with grass turf and your standard 1960's, 1970's plants. We removed the turf and old plants ourselves and began installing native selections from the Theodore Payne Foundation, Grow Native Nurseries etc. We also selected some non-native but friendly "transplants" from the Mediterranean climates, South Africa and Australia.We are coastal region (Sunset zone 24, USDA 10) and we are in a very urban area.
Our primary objective was to reduce use of water and provide a pleasant and environmentally appropriate habitat for birds and bugs.
