Webinars to get you growing with California native plants

When you garden with native plants, you cultivate California’s wild beauty, provide invaluable habitat for wildlife, conserve precious resources, and forego fertilizer or pesticides. With native plants, you have the power to make a difference in your garden, yard, balcony, patio, windowsill, and beyond. Ready to get growing?

Naturehood: Be a Biodiversity Hero

Thursday, September 10 from 5:30pm-6:30pm

Native plants support a variety of life, from insects to birds, reptiles, and animals. Understanding the relationship between native plants and wildlife is especially important in the built environment of our cities and towns. Join CNPS Director of Education & Horticulture Lila Higgins, as they introduce the Biodiversity in Urban Gardens (BUG) Initiative. Lila will talk about the BUG statewide community science study, which asks people in California to use iNaturalist to document native wildlife with native plants. The data community scientists are collecting will lead to greater understanding of the role native plants have in urban areas and how we can advocate for them. Special bonus: Learn about the new Pollinator Hub in Calscape from Jessica Woodard, our Calscape Product Manager.
