High school students learn about the Demonstration Garden. We share that the plants were selected for their local provenance and ethnobotanical uses. In addition, we chose plants that look good in small garden settings. These include deergrass, white sage, foothill penstemon, yarrow, and aromatic sumac. We also discussed the value of native plants for creating rich habitat, and the importance of avoiding the use of invasive weeds.
