It will be similar to Descanso Gardens with a Rose and Flower Garden for ceremonies. In addition, it will also have a Conservation Garden. I need a botanist to come on board with me so that I can apply for loans and grants in order to get this project started. There are a number of endangered plants that are indigenous to Southern CA and Topanga specifically that I would like to help save and protect. Experience or knowledge of these plants would be most beneficial for the gardens in acquiring seedlings from their custodians: Astragalus brauntonii "Braunton's Milk Vetch"; Atriplex parishii "Parish's brittlescale; Calochortus plummeraw "Plummer's Msriposa Lily", Camissonia lewisii "Lewis' Evening Primrose", Carpenteria californica, Cercocarpus betuloides "California mountain-mahogany", Chamaebatia australis "Southern Mountain Misery", Dichondra occidentalis "Western Dichondra", Hernizonia minthornii "Santa Susana Tarplant", Lasthenia glabrata coulteri "Coulter's Goldfields", Mucronea Californica "California Spineflower", Nama stenocarpum "Mud Nama", Sidalcea neomexicana "Salt Spring Checkerbloom" as well as several Dudleya and several Delphinium endangered varieties.
