I was rooting around UCDavis website looking for a particular piece of information and ran across this tidbit. I thought I'd pass it along to y'all, as it includes some new

Quoted:
More than a dozen UC Davis Arboretum All-Star plants will be offered for the spring 2009 launch, with another dozen or more for fall 2009.


I was unable to find a list of local master gardener contact telephone numbers so as to call Fresno to check out where I might find a local nursery with the plants. Moreover, I'm wondering if they would be interested in field testing in our urban yards. And, our local MG office closes at noon, so it'll be tomorrow before I can try again.

You might be interested in checking it out in your own areas. Of special interest to this Central Valley Californian is the special focus on drought tolerant plants which do not require special fertilizers, which can effect ground water resources.

Cool, huh? So . . . here ya' go!
