Now’s the time to go native — with your landscaping, that is — and support the neighborhood birds and bees.

California native plants do best when planted in the fall, allowing their roots to get established during Southern California’s mild and — fingers crossed — wet winters.



For the record: The San Gabriel Mountains chapter of the California Native Plant Society is holding its fall plant sale on Nov. 4 at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Drive in Pasadena. This story misspells the location and duplicates part of the address.

The San Gabriel Mountains Chapter of the California Native Plant Society is hosting its own one-day sale of native plants on Saturday, Nov. 4.

What will be on sale? The society has a helpful website, especially for gardeners new to planting natives, as well as a list of all the plants that will be available, including California lilacs, buckwheats, sages and more.
