Beginning in October, when much of California leaves the dry season behind and prepares for its own green “spring,” Helen Popper provides detailed, calendar-based information for both beginning and experienced native gardeners. Each month’s chapter lists gardening tasks, including repeated tasks and those specific to each season. Popper offers planting and design ideas, and explains core gardening techniques such as pruning, mulching, and propagating. She tells how to use native plants in traditional garden styles, including Japanese, herb, and formal gardens, and recommends places for viewing natives. An essential year-round companion, this beautifully written and illustrated book nurtures the twin delights of seeing wild plants in the garden and garden plants in the wild.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Helen Popper (Author)\u003cbr\u003e Paperback, 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e ISBN: 9780520265356\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"California Native Plant Society","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":857771839,"sku":"CA_native_gard","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2817\/products\/551_large_image_815ce765-d78a-423e-bc52-8b4a370c5808.jpeg?v=1411501794"},{"product_id":"living-wild","title":"Living Wild","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: normal; margin: auto 0in 1.5pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLiving Wild\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: normal; margin: auto 0in 7.5pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eGardening, Cooking, and Healing with Native Plants of California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: normal; margin: auto 0in 7.5pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAlicia Funk \u0026amp; Karin Kaufman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: normal; margin: auto 0in 7.5pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"\u003eAn invitation to celebrate California’s heritage and culture weaves through LIVING WILD, an essential guide to the uses of native plants.

In addition to sharing the science, Tallamy encourages kids to take direct action. Some of these ideas include planting an oak tree (one of the most important tree species) at home. If that’s too large of a task, he suggests they can plant asters—a beautiful flower whose pollen bees use to feed their young.
