Segment 203 in the series FROM the GROUND UP recently created on the value of planting native includes the following plants which were placed on the garden terraces, south facing side of the forty acre mountain top demonstration areas, in early December, once rains had fully wetted the soils. Following segments will be created to re-visit these plants several seasons out to determine their success rate, and various needs to get the plants established, and to see which ones flourish.
