On The Road in L.A.: A Visit to the Theodore Payne Foundation

The Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers and Native Plants is located on 22 acres of Canyon Land just outside of Los Angeles.

Between succulents, sage, and the other drought-resistant native plants they offer, the Payne Foundation positions itself as a resource for anyone interested in native gardening in the desert territories of southwestern United States.

Plants native to southern California have unique drought-resistant capacities; planting them is both aesthetically-pleasing and good for the environment!
