In-Person-Meeting
at the Garden House in Shoup Park. 400 University Ave., Los Altos.
Year-round Color
With Native Plants
With Madeline Morrow- Master Gardener, CNPS-SCV Past-president and current board member
Enhancing biodiversity can be beautiful.
Learn how to select and group plants with varying bloom times so your garden is never without color. See how to choose different plant forms and include beautiful bark, berry, and seed producing species for maximum interest all year long.
You’ll enjoy your garden in every season and so will the bees, butterflies and other insects, lizards, and birds!
Madeline Morrow, a former computer programmer, now volunteers in her community and works extensively on her native garden. Her garden was featured
in Bay Nature magazine in March 2013.
She is an avid gardener who switched her focus to native plants in 1993 when she learned how essential native plants are for wildlife, first in upstate NY, and then in California. In her current garden she has learned a lot about gardening on heavy clay and strategies for drainage problems and retaining rainwater. These include installing
a rain garden.
Her garden is usually on the CNPS-SCV Growing Natives Garden Tour because
she is passionate about spreading the word about native plant gardening.
