Creating Energy Self-Reliant,
Environmentally Friendly,
Homes and Systems
Segment 203 is currently being produced to
highlight the native plants of the area
as self-reliant, once established,
requiring no added soil amendments,
established in native soils.
Some naturally deer and drought resistant.
Completion of the Segment is currently
estimated in mid January,
with airings anticipated in early April.
Several Native Plant Nurseries have provided
the plants,
Central Coast Wilds,
and Elkhorn Slough,,
and local Botantist, Valerie Hailey,
demonstrates useful planting placements
and procedures.
The Watershed Project Volunteers,
from San Lorenzo Valley High School,
are on-hand to assist with the planting,
and to help enclose a small area
where the deer loving roses,
and other delicious natives
are being planted.
