Gardening and Landscaping with California Native Plants
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, these materials are for you: they offer information, expert advice and design ideas as well as plant information on a variety of topics. Whether it is a brochure about a particular plant or ideas on how to remove an over-thirsty lawn, look here for one and two-page quick reference guides.

Part of being in such a unique area is the need to share information and pool knowledge. Please review these materials and download them as needed. If you have any ideas for further research or more brochures, please send an email to gardening@cnpssd.org

North Park Community Restoration Garden

The CNPS Gardening Committee invites all who are interesting in helping with our community native garden on a site bordering Juniper Canyon in North Park.  We will focus on planting replacements for those plants that didn’t quite make it over the summer, and discussing design choices for the future. We welcome all volunteers and neighbors who are interested in learning about the local habitat and how to use local native plants in their gardens.  Be prepared for work outside and bring water. We will park and meet at the intersection of Petra Place and Petra Drive off of Pentuckett. If you have any questions or you are interested in helping with this project but can’t attend, please feel free to contact Wes at weshudson@cnpssd.org.
