Through Dec. 5The California Native Plant Society’s Wreath Masters competition invites individuals and organizations to create wreaths mostly (51%) composed of California native plants in a free monthlong contest. The project will also include creating “Monarch Way Stations” with milkweed and other native plants good for pollinators such as the endangered monarch butterflies. Owner Geri Miller will help participants plant seeds in a coir seedling tray with seed-starting soil mix and an assortment of seeds. This workshop, taught by Jen Aguilar, education program coordinator for the California Native Plant Society, will supply equipment and plant materials for making a wreath. Special feature: native plant wallpaper, prints, notecards and other items by artist and illustrator Lesley Goren.
