The Habitat Hedge

Details:

Need to screen that pesky neighbor? Buffer that noise pollution? Create habitat for our bird friends? The answer for you may be one of California’s many native shrubs that can be used to create a habitat hedge! Learn all about the most popular and common landscaping shrubs that can be used for screening, hedging, privacy, and habitat. The class will also highlight maintenance specifications and practices.

We will be walking around the Garden, and the class will be a walk-and-talk style discussion. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes. We recommend bringing sun protection and a water bottle. The class will meet under the oak tree at the Garden’s main entrance.
