Many California native annuals can be started any time of the year and this is a good time to start the seeds of native perennials that can be planted in the fall. Our speaker will discuss growing annuals, such as desert bluebells, from seed, and how to keep your garden in color all summer long. He’ll also talk about using a cold frame to get plants started even in late fall and early winter. Bring native seeds to share (if you have them), small envelopes, and a pen or pencil to note what you are bringing home.
Stephen Rosenthal is the current president of our Chapter of CNPS and volunteers with Alum Rock Park in order to help restore its native habitat.
