Botanic garden in Santa Barbara hosts native plant workshop

The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is the first to focus exclusively on California native plants, and now they’re inspiring landscapers to do the same.

The California native plant landscaper certification is a four week course that teaches working and aspiring landscape professionals to manage native plants and California-friendly landscapes.

The online classes will culminate in an in-person workshop at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, where the professionals will get to learn about irrigation and pruning. They’ll also get to check out the nursery that houses dozens of native plants.
