This class is part of the series Building Resilience with Native Plants, cosponsored by Theodore Payne Foundation and LA Metro.

About this Event

Nearly 30% of all Metro water use is related to landscaping. In response, Metro stations and landscaping designs are utilizing drought-tolerant California native plants to reduce the need for irrigation while maintaining regional biodiversity. This series: 1) Teaches how we select these plants 2) Increases awareness about challenges and opportunities related to the use of native plants
