California Native Plants for Drier Areas

Many plants native to Southern California, including desert regions, are adapted to prolonged dry spells. They grow in
response to rain, and go dormant during the hot, dry summer

These native birds
and insects
use the Greenway’s
native plants for
food and shelter
