 THE NEW GARDENIt's Edible, Economical and Environmental Marathon grass or prairie grass? Palm tree or walnut tree? Rose garden or vegetable garden?

Through community activism and class projects, Cal Poly Pomona is helping to promote a truly “green” yard, one that combines native, drought tolerant and edible plants. |
