Hi Joan and LAPG,
What are a few good sources for donated (aka "free") California native coastal sage plant species? We have already started a small California native plant garden at our school, Banning High School, in Wilmington. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated, as we want to enlarge our native species diversity a bit.
Thanks,
Dennis Pilien
