The native Garden Committee received a sponsorship from San Diego County Water Authority to create a native garden with this year’s theme “Get Out There”. The landscape design was finalized by Greg Rubin with input from NGC members. The garden was installed over two days with NGC volunteers, Leo Hernandez and Greg Rubin and their crew.
Plant material for the exhibit came from Native West and Moosa Creek nurseries. Redwood logs donated by Urban Timber and artwork figures and exhibit backdrop were created by Ed Piffard. Boulders on loan from KRC Rock.
