It’s that time of year again, when people again say “It’s that time of year again.”

It’s also the time for fall planting of drought-tolerant (not necessarily drought-loving) California native plants. Theodore Payne has a boodle of them, in pots, ready to go. Plus seed packets seeds, books, T-shirts, and the all-important howto and whatnot.

Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants has a fall sale coming up on October 29 – November 9.

They also have a host of classes and walks coming up in November.

Locals who already have native plants in their yards know that TP is the place to go. But if you’re new to the L.A. area, this is your heads-up. They’ve got it all at excellent prices.

Find it all HERE on their website.

Short but true story: When we took out our front lawn in 2009 and put in California native plants, changing nothing else, our water usage immediately dropped 75%.
