Green landscaping?
Feb 12 2007, 4:27 PM EST
Does anyone know a good landscaper who is "green"? I am thinking of getting rid of that patch of lawn in front of my home and instead planting some native plants that require no watering. Any contacts or ideas? Thanks. Caroline

I have just discovered Kathryn Mathewson of Secret Gardens, and she seems to have an incredible background in green landscape gardening. I've interviewed her and explored her background and think she'd be a great fit for you. One of the many sustainable gardening ideas she likes to promote is "backyard meadows" (frontyard too, of course), natural hedges, and other biodiversity solutions. Her web site is www.secretgardens.com. She'll be one of the speakers at Acterra's Environmental Forum next month on Wednesday 3/14, from 7pm - 9pm at Acterra's offices at 3921 E. Bayshore Rd., Palo Alto. Good luck! And let us know how things work out!

Calif. Native Plant Society has a Gardening With Natives interest group and an inspirational annual (free) tour of native plant gardeners. Check the web site for the Santa Clara chapter. These are wonderful people and delighted to help. Also plan to attend our annual wildflower show (also free) at Mission College in Santa Clara where you can get free matrials and advice, see a breathtaking spectrum of native plants in bloom, but seeds, etc. Truly a feast for all the senses. Free parking, signs to follow to lead you there. Hours 10-4 both Sat. & Sun.
