Late summer and fall are a time of rest for most native plant gardens. As we hope for rain, it is the time to tidy the garden and prune in preparation for cooler temperatures. Stephanie Morris, Lior Dahan, Patricia Evans and Madeline Morrow will share their garden maintenance routines. Bring your questions and any ideas you may want to share with others during a group discussion.

Lior Dahan has a degree in environmental horticulture and owns Rhythmic Gardening, an ecological garden maintenance company with a focus on working with nature to heal soil, grow healthy plants and appreciate the wildlife in our gardens. Patricia Evans, owner of Natural Landscape Design, specializes in native plants and sustainable landscaping. Madeline Morrow is a past President of our CNPS Chapter and current board member. Her garden was featured in Bay Nature magazine in March 2013 and has been on the Growing Natives Garden Tour for many years.
