Landscaping with native plants

[sespegal]

I'm new to this forum and just looking for individuals that are excited about using natives for landscapes and are concerned about the water issues here in California. I'm not any kind of expert in landscaping or gardening, I'm just someone that is passionate about these topics and I love to share my on going adventures with my own garden that I adore and hear from others and their experiences and stories, too!
