CNPSSD Native Garden Committee Zoom Webinar - Desert Plants for the Urban Garden
With Don Rideout
Don Rideout
You don’t have to live in the desert to enjoy gardening with desert plants. Don Rideout will guide you in discovering the beauty and diversity of desert plants that thrive in urban gardens. He will share tips on selecting the best desert plants for your environment and offer practical advice on how to care for them, ensuring your garden flourishes with the unique charm of desert flora.
Don Rideout began gardening with native plants in 1995 and some of those plants still survive today. Ten years ago, Don completely renovated his garden, creating five habitat zones adding plants representing each habitat. He volunteers with Batiquitos Lagoon and Anza-Borrego State Park. Don graciously opened his Encinitas garden for the 2014 and 2023 CNPS Native Garden Tours. His goal is to maximize the value of the garden for local wildlife and for his own enjoyment.
Don’s presentation will be recorded and available later on the CNPS San Diego YouTube Channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/c/CNPSSanDiego
