Wild Suburbia: Learning to Garden with Native Plants with Barbara Eisenstein

This talk reveals the process of transforming a traditional, high water-use yard into a peaceful habitat garden abounding with native plants and wildlife — with guidelines on how to select the best horticultural practices for your own garden conditions. Attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences on practices that worked for you, along with those that did not.

Barbara is a South Pasadena resident, an author and educator, and a research associate and former horticultural outreach coordinator at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont. She is the plant sale chair for the San Gabriel Mountains Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, and founder and head of Friends of South Pasadena Nature Park.
