Create and Care for a Native Plant Garden

With prime native plant planting season coming up October through December, now is the time to get excited about creating a native plant garden.

Mike Evans, one of the founders of Tree of Life Nursery and beloved native plant horticulturist, will be presenting his infamous ‘Create and Care’ workshop. Planning and planting your garden and getting your California native plants off to a good start is the first fun step in creating your landscape. Long-term care, sometimes called “maintenance,” is more about connecting and engaging with your garden than working through a list of chores. As native plants become established and the garden starts to function as a whole, your involvement becomes that of a steward and participant rather than a sum of parts. As Mike often reminds us, “maintenance is something you do on your car, not your plants.”
