The date for this month’s GWNC Outreach Committee meeting has been moved to Saturday, October 1st, so as not to conflict with the 2016 Congress of Neighborhoods this Saturday.
Our next meeting will be held as usual at 9:00 a.m. at the Bricks and Scones Cafe, 403 N. Larchmont Blvd. Metered parking is available on Larchmont.
The Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers and Native Plants is looking for those with outstanding native landscapes to participate in their 2017 Native Plant Garden Tour, held on April 1 & 2, 2017.

Garden owners or designers interested in participating must complete an online application located here: nativeplantgardentour.org/apply The application period ends October 1, 2016.
Gardens must be planted with at least 50% California native plants, and ideally be at least three years old as of 2017. More detailed information is found in the online application.
