San Juan Elementary Native Plant Garden in the Fall

This school garden was planted last December & January, and it has filled in nicely!

The yarrow has turned a chocolate brown in time for Fall!



This is my favorite view - a row of aster chilensis, followed by a row of California Sagebrush, followed by a row of buckwheat. Once the coyote brush behind these plants fills in it should look marvelous! Especialy NEXT fall when the coyote brush goes to seed and it looks like snow! Deergrass is in the foreground.



A blue butterfly stops for nectar on one of the last remaining buckwheat flowers.


The milkweed was successfully pollinated and has gone to seed - there will be lots more next year!


Can you believe this was the same spot just last year?
