00:00We've come to Mission Trails Park to get a concept of some of the stuff we're going to

00:06be putting in to the ground at John and Carol's, I guess the philosophy of the garden, if you

00:11will.

00:12Matching with where you live.

00:14And that's really what we want to do.

00:16In fact, there's a big canyon in Kensington that if you went down into it, you would find

00:20all these same plants, all the common characters of Southern California's chaparral.

00:24And really understanding those plants that grow around you.

00:28You live in a certain region, you learn the climate and the phenology, you know, the timing

00:33of the seasonality of plants based on where you live.

00:35That gives you a sense of place.

00:38People go to like the garden center, like a big box store, just to get greenery to just

00:41stuff in it.

00:42They don't care what it is.

00:43They just want some fluffer plant.

00:44Yeah, some flip this house.

00:45But you're not using native, you know, it's going to do so much better.

00:48It's not going to look like, you're not going to have to water it.

00:51When they routinely watered their lawn, John and Carol would typically consume around 400

00:55gallons of water per day.

00:58With their new native garden, they hope to cut that consumption in half.

01:03To make that happen, Jeremy will rely on the common characters of the Southern California

01:08chaparral.

01:09This is another neat one that looks good most of the year.

01:12Dudleya pulverlenta and Artemisia californica, salvia apiana, white sage.

01:19Like most of these plants, it has a real, you know, subtle kind of beauty.

01:23As opposed to a lot of the plants people look at initially, it's really bright and it's

01:27flashy and it just kind of can look like a woman with too much makeup, I suppose.

01:31They want the tacky s**t.

01:32They want to make the showy s**t.

01:34Come on people, stick to the natives, like the California buckwheat.

01:39It's just holds so many tiny flowers.

01:42Areogonum fasciculatum.

01:44Its many microscopic flowers form the base of the food chain by feeding tiny pollinating

01:49insects.

01:51Oh yeah.

01:54So f**king tiny.

01:55So tiny.
