Geographically Correct

16 Want to attract birds and butterflies or discourage deer or gophers in your garden? Not sure what to plant if you live near the ocean, by a creek or in the shade? Then join the savvy garden lovers from all over Northern California who flock to Marin County to find the answers.

“Go native!” is the mantra of Walter Earle and Margaret Graham, founders of Mostly Natives Nursery, who have been sharing their wisdom for more than 25 years regarding water-wise and geographically correct grasses, perennials, shrubs and trees.

The nursery propagates up to 1,400 varieties and species, many not available in the nursery trade, in three greenhouses before moving them to the outside sales tables. Prices start at $4 for small pots and $7.50 for one-gallon containers. Insider tip: Mark your calendar for the October annual sale. mostlynatives.com
