land care plan

After some initial soil remediation steps had been taken, it was time for the california natives to take on the remaining restoration tasks as indigenous plants (native to the specific area) know how to restore soil better than any human hands and amendments. Encelia californica (Bush sunflower) and the seeds of various native wildflowers and grasses were the first to be planted and sown. two large shepherd dogs also occupied this land, so special consideration was made to incorporate a native grass and yarrow pathway through the garden that could withstand heavy foot traffic. Most of the pictures below are from year two to three, following the installation of plants.
