from Calscape California Native Plant Gardening Guide

The Nature Restoration Approach Calscape is focused on helping Californians restore nature one garden at a time. We believe that nature is the most beautiful and environmentally responsible model for landscaping in California. And even more importantly, we believe that homeowners restoring nature in their gardens can slow and one day even reverse the loss of biodiversity being caused by rampant development in California. This guide is meant to give native plant gardeners and other small-scale nature restorers the information they’ll need to do that by mimicking nature in their plant selection, irrigation, mulching, weed control and pest control practices.
