Although I am living in India until June, my thoughts are often in California. The Wild Suburbia website is being updated so check often for new material. Blog posts alternate between California and India and there are new gardening tip sheets in the What's New column of the blog. After recovering from jet lag, I will report on how Wild Suburbia did during my six month absence.
Barbara Eisenstein is a California native plant gardener and horticulturist. She lives in South Pasadena and gardens with her dog, Milo, though he usually just lies in the dirt and gets sunburned. Until recently she ran the Native Plant Garden Hotline at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden.
She is now an RSABG Research Associate and a board member for the San Gabriel Mts Chapter of CNPS.
