Learn
Habitat Gardening with Native Plants
@ Caring for Creation Conference

October 30, 2010 @ 10:30AM & 1:30PM

Join Reginald Durant from Back to Natives to learn all about landscaping with native plants.

Landscaping with natives conserves water - an increasingly scarce natural resource - and saves money. Using natives eliminates the need for pesticides, which harm beneficial insects and other animals, and reduces our exposure to toxic substances. Natives also require less mowing, pruning and fertilizing. A well planned native plant landscape even attracts birds and butterflies.

The conference is located at St. Mark Presbyterian Church, located at 2200 San Joaquin Hills Road, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Visit www.ocice.org to register for this amazing conference.
