Having gotten into this California native plants thing, and not on the heels of last week’s Cahuenga Library Fall Planting event, I decided to start a little native garden of my own this week… I started with these three plants I bought at Matilija Nursery: From left: Coffeeberry, Cleveland Sage and Hummingbird Sage. Then I […] EHNC Vice President Eric Moore, EHNC Public Safety Committee member J.D. Brown and friends help plant Blue Festuca grasses at the Cahuenga Library. The day has finally come for Saturday’s Cahuenga Library Fall Planting event.
