Unlocking the Magic of Native Plants in Your Garden

Unlocking the Magic of Native Plants in Your Garden

Description: This workshop, designed with the home gardener in mind, will explore the magic and beauty of California native plants, discuss how vital they are for our pollinators and wildlife, and discover how to add California native plants to existing home gardens. We hope attendees will be inspired by this informational session and begin to appreciate and add native plants to their gardens.

This class is offered in partnership with San Mateo County Libraries.
