California Native Plant Week began last Saturday, April 16, and will run through April 23rd.
California is the most biologically and geographically diverse state in the United States. This makes for a large and diverse native flora. Southern California, the region that I am most familiar with, encompasses about 2,200 species of native vascular plants. (I have written about a few.) That is about half the flora occurring anywhere in the state, just to you some idea of what nature has in store.
No matter where you are, check out what the California Native Plant Society is offering in celebration of this week.

Earth Day
Earth Day is this coming Friday, April 22. I would recommend observing it by going out and looking for native plants. But, here are some other suggested activities.
