We create California native plant restoration gardens that support wildlife in the urban environment.
WE BELIEVE that each garden can serve as an island for biodiversity - a landing place for birds, bees and butterflies. Link enough of these islands and we create a corridor that supports life throughout the urban landscape.
WE WANT YOU to join our corridor project by using the plans on our site, having us help you design a habitat garden, or volunteering with us to help create dynamic and beautiful demonstration gardens.
