How Does Your Garden Grow? Adaptations of California Native Plants
Saturday, November 7th, 10:00 am-12:00 pm
The Demonstration Garden at Patrick Ranch
10381 Midway Rd, Durham, CA 95938
Plants are adapted to the specific conditions of their native environments, including temperature, available water, soil type, and interactions with other organisms. Adaptations, which are inherited and evolve over time in response to changing conditions, allow plants to continue to meet their needs. Join us in exploring the variety of adaptations which allow California natives to succeed in Butte County despite our hot and dry summers. After the workshop we will visit our two native plant gardens.
