We have a live GNGT virtual garden tour session coming up on Thursday (8/20/2020) at 7:30pm. We will be featuring two fabulous native plant gardens with talks and Q&A sessions by their owners:

• Hernandez Backyard, gngt.org/Hernandez_GNGT

• Carrie Levin, Butterfly House Native Garden, gngt.org/ButterflyHouse_GNGT

This is a terrific opportunity to get ideas for your own garden and receive advice from experienced gardeners.

At the last  GNGT session in July (https://youtu.be/0NVp5rd9BpI), I was happy to hear Monika Kress, one of the garden owners, mention our Chapter’s nursery as the source of several of the plants that she showed during the tour of her garden. At the nursery, we’re always wondering how the plants that we propagate do once they go out into the world — you know how pet rescue folks get excited when they get updates about adopted animals? That’s us when we hear about plants from our nursery in your gardens :). If you have a favorite plant from the CNPS SCV Nursery, we would love to hear about it. Besides making us happy, it’ll also help us figure out what we need to propagate. Please share here or send your stories to me.
