Native Groundcovers
A presentation of Marin Master Gardeners
Join Marin Master Gardeners Yvonne Rojas and Kathy Hunting to learn about native groundcovers and hear about many of their favorites.
Groundcovers serve many functions in the landscape, including suppressing weeds, reducing erosion, replacing lawns, softening hardscapes and filling in large expanses.
Native groundcovers have the added benefits of being adapted to our environment and supporting native biodiversity. In addition, they often require little maintenance or water. In this presentation, we will discuss many of our favorite native groundcovers.
Speakers: Kathy Hunting, a Master Gardener since 2014, is an environmental health scientist by training. She lives on a sunny acre in Point Reyes Station where her garden is full of tasty vegetables and fruits. She also attempts to grow ornamentals that the deer will not find tasty.
In 2017 Yvonne Rojas, the granddaughter of a professional gardener, realized her long-held dream of becoming a Master Gardener. She loves working with her fellow MGs on a variety of projects, such as Exploring Habitats field trips for 2nd Graders, MG videos and the Native Plant Guild. She lives with her husband and their cat on a redwood-shaded hillside in Mill Valley, where they have planted many natives, including her favorite, the Matilija Poppy.
