Index to Articles
When approached by the Adobe Press to do a monthly series on landscaping and gardening with California natives, I launched into what became a two plus years series of articles. My goal was to share the information I had learned regarding native plants in the home landscape. In this way, I felt that the average gardener would be much less intimidated by native plants and more likely to use them for landscaping.
Most of the articles I wrote are listed below. They have also been reprinted in the newsletters of the SLO Chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
