DIGITAL DIALOGUE: Nature in Motion: The Power of Native Plants

Let's discuss how planting locally appropriate native plants can save water and provide abundant biological resources for the environment. We'll cover key design elements and best practices for maximizing environmental resiliency. Most importantly, we'll cover just how simple, accessible, and fun it is to set nature in motion.
This Digital Dialogue is hosted in partnership with California Climate Action Corps, a program of California Volunteers, Office of the Governor. Learn more about their great work here: ClimateActionCorps.ca.gov
What to Expect: Informational presentation and conversation led by Jaunita Salisbury.
Juanita Salisbury has a Ph.D in Biopsychology from the University of Florida (1988), as well as a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from West Virginia University (Summa Cum Laude, 2000). In 2009 she established Juanita Salisbury Landscape Architecture after working for commercial and residential design firms. She has recently turned her focus to California native plant pollinator habitats, and in 2016 established the Primrose Way Pollinator Garden, the first of seven pollinator and insect habitat gardens in Palo Alto. The gardens combine her educational background: the biology and behavior of food intake with design expression born from landscape architecture. Her focus is to research and educate about these habitats, as well as exploring opportunities to install more of them.
