An historic house and garden in the Outer Richmond that showcases a wide variety of local natives, coastal scrub and oak woodland plants. Highlights include multiple mature Ceanothus Ray Hartman and a Red Fescue meadow. Plants are well adapted to windy, salty air, sandy soil, and minimal irrigation. The garden was originally planted by the owner in 2001. When Wild Natives took over the care of the garden in 2006 it was in disarray and full of weeds. Over the past few years, the garden has transformed into a truly magical place (californiawildnatives.com)
