Now’s the time to go native — with your landscaping, that is — and support the neighborhood birds and bees. California native plants do best when planted in the fall, allowing their roots to get established during Southern California’s mild and — fingers crossed — wet winters. The San Gabriel Mountains Chapter of the California Native Plant Society is hosting its own one-day sale of native plants on Saturday, Nov. 4. The society has a helpful website, especially for gardeners new to planting natives, as well as a list of all the plants that will be available, including California lilacs, buckwheats, sages and more. California Native Plant Society plant saleWhen: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 4.
