Creating Energy Self-Reliant,
Environmentally Friendly,
Homes, Systems, and Gardens
Interviews at Central Coast Wilds Native Plant Nursery with Josh Fodor
A few of the Native Plants
discussed for inclusion
in the forty acres of prototype Gardens
being created for the Broadcast Cable Series,
From the Ground Up,
are including
the following plants.
SEGMENT 194 Interviews at Central Coast Wilds Native Plant Nursery
with Josh Fodor
6 1g Artemesia douglasiana,MUGWORT
6 1g penstemon het blue bedder
6 1G Ribes sanguineum Currant
6 1G Rosa californica ROSE
6 1G Epilobium canum FUSHIA
6 1g Salvia apiana SAGE
6 1G salvia mellifera SAGE
4 1g Sambucus mexicana
Fragaria vesca, the wood strawberry
Arbutus menziesi, madrone edible berries
Arctostaphylos andersoni, manzanitas
Corylus cornuta hazelnut,
Juglans californica, the black walnut
Rhaminus californica, the coffeeberry
San Buchus Mexicana, the BLUE Elderberry
For wetland areas
Food and jams out of the berries
It can grow rapidly.
Some natives in dry areas can
grow very slowly.
Some Plants won’t require any
water.
Like
Salvia Melifera, the Black Sage
Occurs in Chapperel
And coastal scrubs.
You can use it in your cooking.
but, it’s not as good as the white sage,
Salvia apeanna, the White sage
It occurs all the way down to southern California,
For cooking medicinal effects, it's all about the volatile oils.
White sage might be in dryer southern California.
Black sage grows in a moister place.
Sage has an uplifting,
bright feeling for the landscape,
Another Related Plant,
Artemesia Douglesiana, Mugwort,
Commonly referred to as Coastal Sages,
There are several varieties of Artemesia in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Known for its medicinal usages.
It grows In wet and seepy areas,
But it can also grow
In hot areas of santa cruz.
It will brown up a little
if you give it zero water.
If you water it just once a month,
deep,
That can keep it going
through all the dry season.
Mugwort is also used as a dream enhancer.
Many make Mugwort Pillows.
It makes dreams more vivid.
So planting this right outside your bedroom would be a good place.
It can be used in a liver formulation.
It's also generally used for the stomach.
A poulstice of it
people will rub on the skin
for minor skin abrasions
or even poison oak.
Ribys malvaceum - a flowering current,
It will have pink or white flowers,
It gets pretty good stature,
It's a good space filling shrub.
Ribes include both flowering currents,
And the gooseberries.
They are edible berries.
You can make jelly out of them.
The Difference between a current and a gooseberry,
is that the Currents don't have any spines on the stems or the leaves,
whereas gooseberries will always have prickelly hairs on the stems and the leaves.
Will the deer like to eat them?
The deer will potentially taste any
native plant in your garden.
Depending on where you are,
the deer may prefer one thing,
or the other.
They may chew your ivys down.
Or not.
What we've found out is that if
you're willing to wait and watch,
Ssometimes they've just pruning
for you and stimulating the plants.
So you don't have to build a
10,000 fence.
"Do all the birds like to eat the currents off them?
The birds definitely like to eat the berries, and that's one reason for planting a species such as this, as food for wildlife, birds, insects.
Other animals find cover under it, squirrels, rabbits.
You've got to get out there early to fend off all the other creatures and get your own share of the bounty before it's all gone.
This one, again,
is going to need once a month,
deep watering.
This can grow in sun or shade, both.
Often its found under a california oak,
Excellent as mixed woodland in your residential landscape.
Most plants you can take cuttings of.
Our preferred method is always collecting the seeds,
In this case,
collecting the berries and bringing them into the nursery environment,
and Treating them, if they need treatment,
Propogating them in flats,
and then transferring them out.
Treatments
are sometimes, just letting them age,
and the rotting, fermenting berry
is what is stimulating the seedcoating inside to germinate
So it can be time.
Ceanopus,
which is another blue blossom shrub
needs hot water treatment.
We take boiling water and pour it over the seeds and let that sit until it cools.
Time and Temperature fluxuation trigger these events in the wild.
Stratification is the typical term to describe temperature flucuation, moisture fluctuation.
It can just be sitting in the duff in the moisture of the forest floor,
and in time it is breaking down the seed coat,
Or an animal can eat it.
The heat of an animal.
The stomach acids in particular,
breaking down the seed coat.
Penstemon heterophylus hybrid,
native, a blue bedder,
is great to plant en mass.
You get great blue purpelish flowers.
It's a Perrineal.
Long lived.
Very drought tolerant.
It will flower and do well with zero water.
But if you want to extend it's flowering,
give it a deep watering once a month.
Use the Leaves fresh,
macerating with oil,
as a salve for minor skin irritations.
It has natural vitamin E oils.
It has natural Antibacterial properties.
It has more of a Mutilagenous type of effect to knit together and bind wounds.
Hazelnut Corylus cormula,
Likes shade or , dappled sun.
It produces the famous Hazel nut.
This is the Californianative variety,
different from the eastern variety,
and doesn't produce quite as many nuts.
You really have to do battle with the squirrels to get your share of them.
They will have a little Pod and a fuzzy coating to it, and the nut is inside is entirely edible.
Add them to your salads for your protein.
These can get quite large, Up to 12 to 15 feet.
But typically you can keep them in the 5 to 7 foot range,
They do well with trimming.
They have a Simple open structure.
Be ready to harvest them as soon as possible
Oaks supply a major form of starch.
American Indians leached it.
Native woodland strawberries, in the oak woodland.
spread runners.
Take the nubs and plant them,
Like all native plants,
they can survive
with the native water flow in California.
RibesVibercarumthe Gooseberry
menziesi, californicum
Sal epilobia, the hummingbird fuschia,
Is used as a bitter,
for the liver,
and induces vomiting,
Purging poisens.
The Bay tree produce fruits,
and a husk like a walnut.
Don't eat the husk.
Age them like walnuts for several months.
Peel off the slimy mess,
roast in the oven, or over the fire.
Or Hose off the husks.
It's like a Roasted coffee bean,
good with chocolate.
Rhamnus californica, the Coffeeberry,
is a Laxitive.
eat the fruit as a medicinal and effective Jam.
Rheumatism tea from the bark,
helps reduce swelling.

Guildelines for landscaping.
California WALNUT TREE,
Juglans californica
is used for root stock for the English walnut.
