Join us at Bird Park for a day of hands-on learning and garden creation with Greg Rubin and Leo Hernandez of California’s Own Native Landscape Design!The Garden Committee invites you for a hands-on workshop and learn how to design and install a dry stream bed, from selecting the right rocks for a natural look to sourcing materials and creating the illusion of flowing water. Discover how to strategically place sitting and stepping boulders to enhance your garden's enjoyment.
We'll also cover choosing native plants that thrive in both dry and wet conditions, perfect for areas around and beyond the stream bed. Plus, learn how to design DG pathways and install a wildlife water feature to attract local wildlife.
Although this workshop is open to everyone, it presents a unique and valuable opportunity for students, landscape professionals, and others in the trade to learn from top experts in native plant gardening. Participants will not only gain the skills to incorporate native plant gardens at home but also contribute to a teaching garden that will educate visitors once established.
All proceeds will support the expansion of "feather" plots in Bird Park, helping us create a thriving habitat for pollinators, birds, butterflies, and the community.
