Baja in full bloom

 In addition to having edible native in our tiny container garden in Los Angeles- we decided to give native birds and insects a natural habitat slope.  We found ceanothus, toyon, coffeeberry, and other chaparral shrubs and plants. 

Here’s a quick photo drop:

This is a photo of how I wanted it to look and the shrubs I wanted in that area.

Picture Below is my goal of what I wanted planted.  I don’t even have an elderberry in Baja (yet).  And I ended up planting my woolly blue curl further up the hill.  Where it says elderberry, I planted a native mint.

Ed began cutting in the hill and making layers so that we can walk on it and the plants can be planted flat and not slopped. 

So excited to see poppies showing up! I threw seeds 14 or so years ago and they keep reseeding and popping up in different areas. 

Below is a photo of a Baja Pitcher Sage- not sure if it’s also a hummingbird sage.
