There are hundreds of plants native to San Francisco. We'll discuss the advantages of growing natives and how to get started. This talk will cover plants for sunny or shady gardens (or foggy!), soil, water and drainage considerations, how and when to plant, maintenance issues, sources for native plants, and other useful resources. Speaker Cathrin Callas joined the UC Master Gardener program in 2022 after retiring from a career in engineering. A California native, her life-long love of flowering plants includes a particular interest in California native plants. She currently lives and gardens in San Carlos.
