California Native Garden and Urban Farm Integration

Designing your landscape with California native plants and edible plants is a natural integration with multiple benefits. California native plants attract native bees and honeybees, which pollinate your food crops and greatly improve the quality and quantity of your harvest. Native plants also attract other beneficial insects that are natural enemies to pests of the urban farm, making it easier to garden organically. BeeLand Farms offers:
