Habitat Gardening - Bob Allen

Planting natives offers more than simply adding flowers and attracting showy pollinators to our yards. They are the foundation of larger local food webs and play a critical part in supporting all animals – insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals alike – that call California home. As we continue to “develop” natural lands, it is of increasing importance that we use native plants in our gardens and other landscaped areas to create a functional habitat that mimics nature. In this video, Bob provides an engaging discussion on the importance of habitat gardening and how you can use your garden to create habitat for native fauna.
