USING NATIVE PLANTS IN THE
GARDEN: A DEEPER PERSPECTIVE
Del McComb Saturday, September 11
10:30 – 12:30 $31
Explore using California native plants in the garden
not only for their beauty and appropriateness in our
climate but also to help develop and recapture a respect
of nature and our place in it. Topics covered will
include an overview of Native American views and
uses of plants and how they shaped the landscape of
California. Their uses of plants created habitats for benefi
cial wildlife, and they used native plants as sources
of food, dyes, medicines and fiber. A list of natives that
work well in the Bay Area will also be covered along
with cultural information on how to use them.
