What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Patty Roess In one of California's driest years ever, Patty Roess has many customers who want to learn landscaping with native plants from Tree of Life Nursery south of Los Angeles. Patty's account shows how much native plants offer beyond saving money on water. Gardeners can still choose among different garden styles (such as desert or Mediterranean) when using plants whose water needs match California's seasons. Wildlife flourishes, and garden putterers find other ways than watering to enjoy caring for their garden. Looking at reasons for replanting yards and gardens with native plants really highlights the interrelationships among climate change, exotics and natives, wildlife habitat, and ways nurseries and gardeners can adapt to climate change going forward.
