Presentation: Landscape Quality Native Plants

by Patrick Montgomery

Fall is fast approaching with cooler temperatures and the beginning of our rainy season. This is the ideal time to replace or add new California native plants to your garden. Patrick will focus on how best to incorporate California native plants in the designed landscape with the goal of creating successful and beautiful spaces that connect with our native California landscape. This presentation is for experienced and novice native gardeners who are preparing plant lists for the upcoming CNPS native plant sale in October.

Patrick Montgomery is the Sales Manager for Native West Nursery. With his background in Landscape Architecture and love of the outdoors, his goal is to be a resource for gardeners, designers and architects in helping to ensure that the best suited native plants are grown, recommended and ultimately planted.
