If any of you haven’t read this I recommend so strongly! It’s a beautiful look into the environmental, social and individual benefits of natural farming / permaculture, and is quickly becoming one of my most referenced books.

Hey all! I’m trying to find a source for varietals of hawthorn native to the southeast USA. I want to plant a stock-proof hedgerow around a 30 acre field with at least 50-70% native hawthorn, with hazel, yaupon, gallberry, etc mixed in. As y’all probably know only one or two varietals are cultivated in mass and they tend to be thornless ornamentals, so they’re unsuitable for the project. I need the thorns! I’m open to seed collecting off wild plants, but don’t know the location of any stands or thickets. Any leads would be much appreciated! I’m also posting in r/foraging as well. Thanks!

After visiting Rolling Greens and The Tropics, Inc, I headed to the (not so) new LA location of the San Francisco giant, Flora Grubb Gardens. This was my final stop during our mid-November trip.
I’ll be honest, my expectations were low. The buzz I’d heard about this location wasn’t all that positive. I think someone had also told me getting there wasn’t easy. They were right. Left turn against traffic, another immediate turn that wasn’t obvious, aye yi yi! I could see it, but how to get to it!? Thankfully I finally made the right combination of turns.
In addition to the traffic and street issues, the location also had a few interesting deep drainage ditches that broke up the flow. You can see one of them above, here’s another. Lots of ice plant…
Odd location (and extreme wind that day) aside, I thought this location was (almost) as magical as the original. I mean let’s face it, our standards are much higher now than when the original Flora Grubb opened in SF back in 2007.
There were many plants I would have loved to have taken home with me. Agave victoriae-reginae…
Agave ‘Blue Glow’
Leucospermum gueinzii
Leucospermum ‘Veldfire’
Leucadendron salignum ‘Winter Red’
Labeled as purslane tricolor jewel…
Jelly beans!
Over on Instagram I raved about the way made the space and I will do so here too. They were fantastic.
Agave xylonocantha ‘Swordfish’
Blue, powdery blue.
There were several gorgeous Cyathea cooperi in the mix of shade plants.
Tetrapanax! $79 for a 3 gal pot.
Lots of beautiful bromeliads, I really wanted to take a couple home, but didn’t want to pay to check a bag, so they stayed.
This was interesting to see, after drooling over the many Deuterocohnia brevifolia at The Tropics, Inc. This little planting in a rock pot was selling for $149.
Euphorbia evansii (only $12.99)
Mammillaria spinosissima
Cleistocactus colademononis
Inside the small building that fronted the space I spotted these ceramic containers from .
If this one had been green or brown it would have been very hard to leave it behind…

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for books on permaculture in the desert. I have a relative in the Sonoran desert near Tuscon who is interested in creating a food forest in her back yard. Any practical books on this, listing plants, giving a practical how-to, etc? (I know the youtube videos and some websites on this. And Fukuoka’s Sowing Seeds in the Desert.) Thanks!

Thanks for the post about tree guilds. I hadn’t considered that before. I plan to take out the rose bush in the spring and plant a frost peach. I did an urban garden tour and found out a neighbour a short walk away got 50 pounds of peaches from a small tree in a similar spot. I was planning on planting the two blueberry bushes in the ground since the plastic tubs are cracking. Will thr blueberries preference for acidic soil work T with a peach nearby? Also can anyone suggest good companion plants? I am planning to sheet mulch more area in front of the roses and blueberries.Thanks.
