Submissions for our next zine, Observations from the California Native Garden, are now open!

Submissions are due by February 22nd. Please note the zine will be printed with black ink only, so make sure your photo or artwork will translate well.

Some examples of what we're looking for: 

Photos from your garden, stories about soil, interesting insects, love letters to mulch, your first bloom, a garden resting in winter, a new leaf, illustrations of resident birds, poetry, a short comic... Something that has inspired you, and that you feel would inspire someone to explore the beauty and importance of native gardening.
