Planting a Native Garden in Los Angeles
Channel: Loren Johnson
Date: 2020-06-18

Watch our turf replacement project transform our drab grass yard into a vibrant native plant habitat.  A garden becomes part of the California native ecosystem.  Project includes greywater, drip irrigation, mulch, bioswales, rain barrels, native plants, and urban wildlife restoration.  Plant list at end of video.

Want to remove your lawn (or even just a part of it?).  There may be a lawn removal rebate program in your area!  Go to your water provider website (such as LADWP, or Chino Basin Water Conservation District).  Be sure to complete your application BEFORE beginning any work.  Photos of your intact grass lawn are required.

We sourced plants from the following nurseries:
Hahamonga Native Plant Nursery - www.arroyoseco.org
Theodore Payne Native Nursery - www.theodorepayne.org
Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden Grow Native Nursery - calbg.org
California Native Plant Society - www.cnps.org
