What&#8217;s the good side of our historic drought here in California? Native gardens, of course! In this episode of the podcast Kelly and I share the lessons we learned from a native garden tour put on by the <a href="http://theodorepayne.org/">Theodore Payne Foundation</a>. During the podcast we discuss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://rootsimple.wpengine.com/2015/09/the-unintended-consequences-of-water-conservation/">a provocative white paper by two UC horticulturalists on why some residential drought measures are shortsighted</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://rootsimple.wpengine.com/2016/04/how-to-garden-with-california-natives-lessons-from-the-2016-theodore-payne-garden-tour/">A blog post we did on the 2016 Theodore Payne Garden tour</a>.</li>
