I pride myself as someone who knows what's going on in the world of green in So Cal. I just found out about http://www.greenlagunabeach.com/ which was launched on Earth Day (that would be back in April!) It's a great site with lots of resources, including green homes in Laguna Beach.
And for a green yard, we all should know by now that we should rip up our green lawn and plant native plants (- how about that for a segway. ) A great FREE way to learn about native plant landscaping is to go to the workshop sponsored by one of my fav organizations Back to Natives. It on Sat, August 29, 9AM - 1PM. I love the idea of a free workshop in exchange for planting a garden, this is collaboration at its finest - everyone wins!Here'e the info from their site: Back to Natives is excited to be providing landscape design services for the "Costa Mesa Green Home," which many believe will be the greenest home in Orange County, California when certified 'Platinum' by the US Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) for Homes Program. Members of the community are invited to a Native Plant Landscaping Workshop, to learn how and why planting native plants is beneficial. During the workshop, participants will assist in installing the design. The workshop will be held on August 29th, from 9AM to 1PM. To RSVP, call 949-509-4787 or send an email to info@backtonatives.org
