Lecture and Garden Walk:
Groundcovers for Every Garden
Saturday, May 16, 1-2pm
At Yerba Buena Nursery
In this class we will teach you about the variety of California Native groundcovers for sunny and shady gardens. Learn how to fill spaces in your garden where weeds once grew with these versatile, broad spreading plants. Groundcovers can be used in combination with other native plants as an excellent substitute for a lawn. You will leave with a knowledge and appreciation for how to create a garden design incorporating groundcover plants. Cost is $5 per person. Pre-registration is required.
Call (650) 851-1668.

Weed Removal Video Game
"How Bunny Saved California"
"How Bunny Saved California" is an original video game which teaches the importance of removing invasive plants that plague California. Bunny, the game's heroine, makes a valiant effort to pull, dig and wrench out some nasty weeds before they spread and crowd out the native plants. The game can be played online for FREE on our website. The game was designed by Martin Jennings-Teats and sponsored by Yerba Buena Nursery. Let us know how you like it!
