Installing California Natives and other drought tolerant species will save you money!
Save Water! California native landscapes will be lush and beautiful and, once
established, need minimal irrigation beyond normal rainfall. Converting to a native
garden can reduce landscape water use by 75% and result in savings of up to $300 per
year for the average California residence.
Less Gardening! In native gardens plants do best with minimal attention and care and
because most require no mowing, the average monthly gardening charges for a single
family home can be reduced by up to 50%, generating a potential savings of $700
annually.
Potential Rebates! Natives require less water and fertilizer, and reduce or eliminate
pesticide use. In turn, native gardens save valuable water resources, keep garden
toxins out of our streams, ocean and drinking water, and will qualify homeowners and
businesses for rebates in most cities.
