Please join Delle Maxwell from the San Mateo and San Francisco Counties Master Gardeners, for a talk about using California Natives for your garden. Even with summer-dormant plants you can have a garden that is inviting at any time of the year. With careful planning and planting, you can can have year-round color and texture in your garden while conserving water and providing habitat for local birds and pollinators.

About Delle: I have been a Master Gardener since 2014. My favorite projects with Master Gardeners are researching and presenting talks, growing herbs for the Spring Garden Market, and working out at Elkus Ranch.
I have a personal interest in drought-tolerant plants—especially natives, cacti, succulents, and salvias. My garden in Portola Valley has been on the Going Native Garden Tour many times, most recently in April 2014. Since then, it has been completely renovated with even more native and drought-tolerant plants.
In addition to Master Gardeners, I serve as Board Chair on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society. I have also been a volunteer for 20 years at the nursery there, where I work doing plant propagation.
