A low-grow, low-water, low-maintenance, fire-wise, wildflower and native grass lawn that supports pollinators.

Inspired by the super-bloom meadows of California, we developed this as an alternative to traditional lawns.

Unlike non-native turf grass (with its high-water requirements and low ecological value), our California Wild Lawn provides:

  • Native grasses and wildflowers comprising a low-stature meadow that you can actually walk on. 
  • Infrequent mowing. Cut the lawn low at the beginning of the summer dry season to eliminate combustible biomass, in periods of abundant rainfall, let it grow lush with flowers.
  • A water-smart ground cover that does not require irrigation beyond initial establishment -- in the event of a drought, just mow it low and let it remain dormant. Life will spring back when natural rains return.
  • A dazzling color display that feeds native bees, butterflies, and songbirds, and richly textured native grass that resemble a wild grassland.

Mix Composition:

Re-Seeding Annual Wildflowers (49%): California Goldfields (Lasthenia californica), Five Spot (Nemophila maculata), Red Maids (Calandrinia ciliata), Farewell to Spring (Clarkia amoena), Tomcat Clover (Trifolium wildenovii), Tidy Tips (Layia platyglossa), Chinese Houses (Collinsia heterophylla), Bird’s Eye (Gilia tricolor), Bicolor Lupine (Lupinus bicolor), California Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia), Dwarf California Poppy (Eschscholzia caespitosa), Foothill Clover (Trifolium ciliolatum), Maiden Clover (Trifolium microcephalum), Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii), Owl’s Clover (Castilleja exserta), Goldfields (Lasthenia glabrata)

Perennial Wildflowers (6%): Springbank Clover (Trifolium wormskioldii), Perennial California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica var. Martima), turf-type Western yarrow (Achillea millefolium ‘Yaak’)

Native Grasses (55%): Seashore Bentgrass (Agrostis pallens), Three Week Fescue (Festuca microstachys), Idaho Fescue (Festuca idahoensis), Molate Red Fescue (Festuca rubra ‘Molate’), California Oatgrass (Danthonia californica), Western Fescue (Festuca occidentalis), Prairie Junegrass (Koeleria macrantha)

Appropriate Range: This mix is well adapted to most locations from Southern Oregon through Southern California, at elevations ranging from sea-level to about 3,000 feet, and areas with an average of 10 or more inches of annual precipitation. (Note this mix will do okay in dry areas, such as the southern San Joaquin Valley, but may need supplemental irrigation for establishment).

Butterfly Host Plants: The various plants in this mix are likely caterpillar host plants for the following butterflies: Springbank Clover, Maiden Clover, Foothill Clover and Tomcat Clover: western cloudywing (Thorybes diversus), Queen Alexandra’s sulphur (Colias alexandra), Shasta blue (Plebejus shasta), greenish blue (Plebejus saepiolus), Chinese Houses, Owl’s Clover, and Farewell to Spring: Pacific green sphinx moth (Proserpinus lucidus), Grasses: sandhill skipper (Polites sabuleti), roadside skipper (Amblyscirtes vialis), Sonora skipper (Polites sonora), Linsey’s skipper (Hesperia lindseyi), western branded skipper (Hesperia colorado).

Establishment Recommendations: This mix is best established from Autumn through late Winter in most locations, but can be started at other times with supplemental irrigation during initial establishment. (If established with supplemental irrigation, watering should be discontinued at the beginning of the next rainy season).

Seed should be surface-scattered directly onto well-prepared bare-ground. Existing lawns can be removed and replaced with this mix by using a sod-cutter, herbicides, or by smothering with tarps or cardboard. Please see our basic site preparation guidelines here for an overview. Note that new planting sites (where there previously was no lawn) should be largely free of competing weed seed such as cheatgrass and may need several seasons of preparation to create a clean seed bed.

Maintenance and Fire Notes: While the species in this seed mix are relatively low stature, in conditions with excellent soil fertility and moisture, the mature flowering canopy can reach more that 18-inches in height. Selective cutting with secateurs, a scythe, or string trimmer can manage height expectations during the growing season.

Note that while this wild lawn is great alternative to traditional lawns and can tolerate occasional foot traffic, it is not as durable as non-native turf grass. We do not recommend this mix for high-traffic areas, including areas with significant pet activity.

Natural California grasslands largely go dormant in summer with the onset of the dry season. To reduce fire-risk, we recommend cutting down the wild lawn after flowering, and before the lawn completely dries out. (Mowing to about 4-inches is ideal, and rough cutting with a scythe is an excellent, wildlife-friendly option). The mowed biomass should be either cut and bagged, or raked up and removed from the site. (Note that to preserve small invertebrate life in the lawn clippings, the mowed material can be composted in a safe nearby location and occasionally watered to reduce combustibility and enhance composting efficiency.

This list is informed by fire-wise native plant guidelines developed by the Fire Safe Council of San Diego, the Fire Safe Council for Monterey County, the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County, and the City of Anaheim Fire & Rescue. We have intentionally selected plants for their low-fire risk benefits.

With sufficient heat and dry conditions however, any landscape plants are combustible. For this reason, we recommend consulting fire-wise resources for maintaining a defensible space near structures. Core principles to consider include reducing vegetation immediately adjacent to homes and buildings, and maintaining vertical spacing between ground vegetation and the lower canopy of trees and shrubs so that ground-based fires cannot jump to low-hanging tree branches.

Note that by cutting your lawn after flowering, you increase the potential for your wildflowers to reseed themselves. However, some native wildflowers naturally decline in abundance over time. To increase the abundance of your favorite flowers, your wild lawn can be periodically (every few years) mowed low to the ground re-seeded with select wildflower species.

Seed Mix Weight: 1-pound (enough to cover about 800 to 1000 square feet).

Fairly Priced and Fairly Nice iPad Pro Case
Color: Light Pink
I was on the hunt for a case for my iPad Pro (6th generation), and let me tell you, it was a wild ride! I scoured every review I could find, but it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The ones that were reasonably priced had all sorts of issues, and the ones that looked fancy were way too expensive and had just as many problems. Now, I know what you might be thinking: “You get what you pay for, right?” Well, I was determined to find a case that fit my budget and didn’t have too many complaints. After hours of searching, I finally stumbled upon a case that seemed to be a reasonable match. Here’s why I picked this one: It has most of the features I wanted. It covers the lens on the back of the iPad, and there’s a holder on top for the pencil allowing it to charge. I’ve gone through two cases before, and they all started to wear out pretty quickly. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on another case that would just fall apart so I found this one to be reasonably priced. The case itself is nice and sturdy, and it’s a great fit for my iPad. I charged the keyboard for the recommended 5 hours before I first used it, and I haven’t had a chance to test the battery life yet. But after charging, it was a breeze to connect it to my iPad. A little heads up: the connect button is actually the “C” on the keyboard, not the command or control key. I know, I know, confusing! But once you press the keys, Bluetooth turns on, and connection to the iPad went without any issues. I’ve seen some reviews mentioning that special characters weren’t working or that the keyboard would just stop working randomly. But so far, everything seems to be working perfectly. I’ll definitely update this review if anything changes. One thing I really like about this keyboard case is that once it’s connected, you don’t have to reconnect it again. That’s a huge plus! Another cool feature is that the instructions for pairing and using the keyboard are right on the bottom of the keyboard, which is super handy. Pros: - style and fit. - different angles for propping iPad while typing or watching videos - instructions for pairing and use on the bottom of the keyboard, Cons: - The only downside I’ve found so far is that you can’t swivel the iPad from landscape to portrait because the case doesn’t allow for that movement. For me this is a minor inconvenience, because I just close the case and turn it to portrait. If that’s important to you, then this might not be the case for you. Another thing I have noticed is that sometime while I am typing, and I type fast, I will hit something and get dragged somewhere else on the screen. I think this is a user inspired issue, but it is not that big a deal for me. Overall, this is a good functional case with a pretty good keyboard and iPad protection. I’m giving it 4 stars explained below. My Stars Explained 5 - Like finding money in your old coat pocket - pure joy! 4 - Almost perfect - like a pizza with just one missing topping. 3 - Like a movie that’s just okay—neither a blockbuster nor a total flop 2 - Like a blind date that went horribly wrong - cringeworthy. 1 - Like stepping on a Lego in the dark - painful.

Perfect fit, secure pencil slot, great touchpad.
Color: Navy Blue
EXCELLENT Keyboard case. I tried several to find the right one. Tried a bluetooth keyboard by itself, but there wasn't the convenience of an "all in one". Tried another one that had a magnetic connection between the ipad and the keyboard, but the ipad was not as positionable as I needed it to be. This "folio-type" case is similar to what I use for all my other tablets and devices - slim, securely closing, perfectly fitting my 3rd gen ipad pro - AND the slot for the apple pencil is PERFECTION! The touchpad is a little stiffer than I like but then I realized I DON'T actually have to press it to use it - just a tap accomplishes the same thing. I rely on the touchpad for a lot and this case is just really exactly what I need.

good value and battery life
Color: Purple
Love this!! the keyboard has a good life on it and charges pretty fast. I at first didn't really like that it detaches, but being able to hold the keyboard in my lap and type on the screen while I sit on the sofa is actually pretty nice. the trackpad does have a bit of a learning curve, but gestures/hotkeys are all listed on the bottom so it's easy to check whenever necessary. The material of the case itself also cleans really easy. I spilled a drink on it and it wiped right off. I feel like this is a pretty good value all things considered, especially when similar products at big box stores can eb a couple hudnred bucks. The only downside is that the keyboard, while slim, does add a bit of bulk to the case. It's not a huge deal for me, but my boyfriend who also has an ipad did notice the difference immediately.

Works
Color: Light Gray
Heavy! It is a nice case and the keyboard works good. Turns off randomly, but not too annoying. This case is heavy though! It at least triples the weight of my iPad, which is opposite the reason I got an iPad Air. Too late to return, I just take the keyboard out, but it must be the magnets in the case that are so heavy.
