Native Plant Specialist Deni Friese to Answer Your Questions

Why choose native Plants?
Going "native" has never been more important. We now realize that drought tolerant plants are efficient at saving water, and they usually don't require fertilizing. But while they are often helpful to our local birds, butterflies and other and garden-friendly pollinators, some drought tolerant plants can even be hazardous to the health of Mar Vista's ecology. Find out why all plants are not created equal and how to care for your selections from our local landscaper and native plant specialist, Deni Friese.
