BTN BUILDS A NURSERY PART 1

If you are interested is helping save the habitat than Back To Natives Restoration is the perfect non profit for you to volunteer with. They specialize in habitat restoration by using (as locally as possible) native plants. Currently they are in the process of building a nursery to help fund their restoration efforts. The below video is part 1 of the nursery being built. Being involved in the process was a lot of fun and not to mention that giving back through volunteerism is beneficial to the growth of this environment.



If you are interested in saving the habitat in your own garden then below is a list of California native plants depending on your needs. Remember that using natives will cost less money, use less water and will attract beneficial wildlife to your garden. Use as locally native as possible whenever possible.
