🪱Happy Darwin Day
He spent over 40 years studying earthworms
His final scientific book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms, argued that earthworms are major geological agents, slowly transforming entire landscapes through their constant burrowing and digestion

🌿Prune for Shape
By mid-to-late March, many birds begin nesting
Pruning now ensures you won't disturb a family of hummingbirds or bushtits later
Sages: If you haven't already, cut back woody sages by about a third
Fuchsias: These should be cut back hard (nearly to the ground) to encourage growth

🌿It's Ceanothus season
Indigenous Californians used the flowers and seed pods as a gentle soap for centuries
Pick a small cluster of blossoms
Add a little water and rub your hands together
Result: It creates a natural, fragrant lather!

🌿Start small
This parkway garden has one young GLORIOUS Ceanothus 'Ray Hartman' mixed in with succulents and alyssum
The pollinators love the sweet Alyssum nectar that provide a vital "bridge" food source during winter, as well as the lilac blossoms from Ceanothus

🌿Crows and ravens cache food—nuts, acorns, seeds—and often forget some of their hiding spots
Those forgotten caches sprout into new plants, helping native shrubs and trees spread naturally
Oaks, pines, and many chaparral species benefit from this behavior

🐝Bumblebees perform "buzz pollination"
They grab onto a flower & vibrate their flight muscles at a high-pitched middle C frequency, shaking the pollen loose
Without it, many of our favorite native plants wouldn't be able to reproduce!

If you were a hungry butterfly, bee, bird, or other critter - which yard would you prefer?
Left house:
Absolutely no nutritional value
Constant care - water, pesticides, mowing, edging
Right house:
Plentiful habitat & food sources
Minimal care once established & even less water

🌿Blue-eyed Grass
🐝 A Pollinator Favorite
Native bees adore them. Open during the day and close at night, offering nectar and pollen to a variety of small pollinators.
🌼 A Surprisingly Tough Wildflower
Many species tolerate drought once established, making them great for native gardens

🦋In early February, Migrating Monarchs are shifting from "survival mode" to "action mode"
Leaving overwintering sites to find water and nectar
The "super generation" (which has lived for 6–9 months!) is preparing for its final mission
Ready to lay eggs as soon as they head north

🌿California Poppy is EVERYWHERE already
Every evening, or even on particularly cloudy and cold days, California poppies curl up their petals and "go to sleep"
They only open back up when the sun is bright and the temperature is warm enough to attract pollinators

In a single meadow, you might find petals ranging from deep royal purple and sky blue to creamy white or warm yellow
Each flower features intricate "honey guides"—darker veins and a yellow splash on the sepals—that act like a landing strip for bees

They are a perfect example of the Fibonacci sequence in nature
Their leaves grow in a tight spiral pattern that ensures every single leaf gets maximum exposure to sunlight and channeled water without shading out the ones below it

🌿Both yards look nice

Needs consistent watering
Provides nothing for pollinators
Right yard:
Provides habitat for all kinds of pollinators
Provides food for pollinators
