California native plants are a waterwise option right under our noses. Support the locals by using them in your landscape plan.
Think to the future as you plan your native garden. That small shrub in a 1-gallon pot can grow to an enormous size, so read the label and create enough space for it to reach maturity. You will save money and a great deal of future work. It is amazing how quickly 1-gallon and 5-gallon plants will grow in your garden.
The best type of irrigation system is one that mimics nature. Micro-spray heads wash off the leaves of the plant without saturating the soil during the summer, when the plants don’t expect a drenching. You can also hand water and keep in touch with your plants. If you want to keep your natives alive for the long haul, it is best to avoid single drip emitters.Spend the money you have saved in buying smaller plants on good mulch.
