Right Plant, Right Place with Terrence Williams — Oct 7, 2026
Description
Do you know which plants are right for your garden?
This class is designed for those interested in incorporating California native plants into their home or community garden but who are not sure where to begin. Join us online to explore the why, what, when, and how of planting with native plants.
Understanding the native habitats and seasonal patterns of Southern California can help you select plants well-suited to your space. This course introduces local plant communities—groups of species that naturally grow together—and the conditions in which they thrive. Participants will also learn how to assess important garden conditions including climate, soil, sunlight, water, and available space, along with resources that can support plant selection and garden planning. A helpful class for beginners!
Right Plant, Right Place is the required introductory course for our 3-Part Design Series and is recommended either before or concurrently with the design course.
Terrence Williams is the Nursery Technician at Theodore Payne Foundation. He is passionate toward making botanical knowledge accessible to all by helping people of various skill levels and backgrounds to get started with gardening.

- What if it rains?
Rain or Shine Policy
Our classes generally take place rain or shine. We do not cancel classes simply because rain is forecast; however, the safety of our students, instructors, and staff comes first. In the event of severe weather or unsafe conditions, we will evaluate the situation on a case-by-case basis and may modify, relocate, postpone, or cancel a class. If TPF cancels or postpones a class due to weather, registered participants will be notified as soon as possible and offered a refund or the option to transfer their registration to a rescheduled date when available.
