Greetings, Friend of TP - Thank you to all of the attendees, hosts and docents of the Garden Tour. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and came away from the event more inspired and excited about gardening with California native plants. As the weather begins to sizzle and bake, we at Theodore Payne encourage anyone interested in starting a native garden to take the next few months to develop a design that can be fully implemented in the late fall. Let our instructors help you flesh out your ideas for a native plant paradise. Please see class listings below and check our Web site for more upcoming educational opportunities. See you soon at Theodore Payne, where you can always discover the beauty of native plants!
If you're new to natives, this is a great class to get you up to speed on a wide range of topics, including what is a "native plant," why natives are valuable, plant communities, plant requirements, establishment, planting details, pruning, irrigation, maintenance and where to see and buy native plants. Louise Gonzalez, Theodore Payne Nursery Sales Manager, teaches on Saturday, May 12th at 10:00 a.m. Please call 818-768-1802 to reserve your space. The fee is $35 for members, $45 for nonmembers. Limited to 15 students - fills up fast!
This fun - and free - workshop takes place at POT-TED in Los Feliz. Learn how to create beautiful California native gardens in pots and other interesting vessels. Plants from Theodore Payne will be available for purchase after the class. Please call POT-TED (323).665.3801 to sign up. Containers are a fun way to get that gardening fix even during the hottest months of the year. With the rights plants in a shady spot, you can have great success!

Theodore Payne members receive a 20% discount on our plant of the month, which in May is Encelia californica (California bush sunflower), a local native perennial with yellow petals on daisy-like flowers. It grows to about 3 feet high and 5 feet wide, prefers part shade inland, semi-moist to moist sandy or loamy soil and is a fast grower. This is a nice, easy-to-grow plant for people of all levels of experience with California natives. To view our nursery inventory, visit our Web site. Select "Plants in the Nursery" from the menu on the left and then choose "Nursery Weekly Inventory."
