New gardeners honor cultural history and plants that support wildlife.
A fence and lawn: that’s what faced thrifty first-time gardeners Ashley Nava-Monteros and Carlos Monteros at their new house. Now, art and plants honor cultural history and support wildlife with native and adapted plantings that thrive on clay soil. Carlos loves succulents and shows how to propagate a prickly pear cactus and make nopalitos from its pads (nopales) for the kitchen.
