how to save water: part 2
being in bright and sunny Southern CA lends itself to yards. probably one of the best things to do is convert your yard to one of 2 things:
1. a yard that supports native plants: and no golf lawns are not indigenous to the area-sorry. celebrate this gorgeous area by showcasing what really grows here…not only do you SAVE big-time on water (you don’t have to even worry about them once established!), but you start to attract beautiful birds and butterflies (seriously i am not a hippie) to your yard. i have to admit, seeing hummingbirds why having my morning cup of joe is pretty nice for a track home in the middle of Irvine!
these local sources can help you:

2. plant food! lawns are great and all, but wouldn’t you rather enjoy the fruits of your labor with your family & friends? growing your food connects you to your home in a way that sitting on the couch can never do.
