Question 1

NATURE IS CALLING!

Accepted Answer

Want to encourage song birds and butterflies?
Plant a pollinator garden with California native plants! Small pollinator gardens scattered throughout the city will form a healthy connection for the insects and birds that will help them thrive.

Question 2

NATIVE POLLINATOR GARDEN PROGRAM

Accepted Answer

Pick out a small sunny location on your property, about 100sf, or a circle about 11ft. in diameter, and we will suggest some plants that will look attractive and as a group will provide color that spans the entire blooming season.

We offer two levels of support:

• Premium Full Service:  We consult with the homeowner, present our suggested plants, purchase the plants and mulch, and with the help of volunteers, plant everything.  The homeowner will water the plants and weed as necessary. 
Cost: $250
 • Do it Yourself: We consult with the homeowner, present our suggested plants, purchase the plants and mulch, but the homeowner plants everything and waters the plants and weeds as needed.
Cost: $175

These prices cover most but not all of our costs.  We will start planting in January and will cap the Premium Full Service at ten (10) recipients for this first year.  If you are interested please sign up using the form on this page.
