Invaluable Plants for Low Water Use Gardens
Join Nicholas Staddon, an unabashed plant fanatic, as he navigates us through a cornucopia of regional appropriate plants for our southern California gardens, both in-ground and container plantings. He always has a firm eye on the environment and will suggest plants and habitat that support the wildlife struggling to live with us, as homeowners have the critical opportunity to create gardens that support wildlife as well as plants. Rarely by the book, there will be lots to inspire you to try in your own personal space. And speaking of books. Nicholas is an avid reader and will suggest several regional appropriate plant books to add to your collection.
