In the Garden: Hello Yarrow

Join fellow native plant enthusiasts for an in-depth tour of Hello Yarrow, the evolving home garden of horticulturist and landscape designer Brian Bautista.

As part of the Theodore Payne Foundation's Professional Education programming, this tour will focus on the landscape design and horticultural aspects of creating and maintaining a California native garden. Featured on TPF's Annual Native Plant Garden Tour, Hello Yarrow offers a special opportunity to explore the garden through a guided walk and talk with Brian. Learn how the landscape transformed into a 2,240-square-foot garden composed primarily of California native plants, and hear about the design process, plant selection, installation, maintenance, and lessons learned along the way.

Explore the garden's ecological features, including butterfly and bird habitat, edible and aromatic plantings, containers, and rainwater capture strategies. Brian will also discuss gardening in heavy clay soils near the bottom of a historic watershed and share some of the California native plants that make up this diverse landscape. The garden is also a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat.

What began as Brian's first garden has grown into a living laboratory and the foundation of a new career. After leaving the visual effects industry, Brian earned a Certificate in Horticulture from UCLA Extension and is now pursuing a professional Certificate in Landscape Architecture. His garden reflects his belief that residential landscapes can support biodiversity, provide habitat, and play a meaningful role in addressing climate change.
