THE EVOLUTION OF A NATIVE GARDEN
|
|
| |
Native plant gardens are dynamic, changing with the seasons as well as the years. |
There is a lot to learn from Katherine Greenberg's 30-year-old Lafayette garden, celebrated in publications such as EBMUD's Plants and Landscapes for Summer-Dry Climates, Diablo Magazine, and Pacific Horticulture. |
| |
Katherine will talk about the development of her garden,which includes plants associated with the major plant communities: grassland, chaparral, coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, riparian woodland, and redwood forest. Katherine selected plants that are natural companions in the wild and suited to the climate and conditions of the site. The colors and textures add interest in every season of the yearand the creek attracts deer and other wildlife.
|
| |
As a garden designer Katherine has a special interest in California native plants and climate-compatible gardening. She was the founding president of the Friends of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden and a past president of the Mediterranean Garden Society and Pacific Horticulture. She has led tours to Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Greece, sponsored by Pacific Horticulture. She also organizes native plant workshops in her garden for small groups. |

| |
There will be a workshop in her garden on October 16, 2010.
Sign up at this meeting. |
