keystone
Keystone native plants are the plants that everything else depends on in our regional ecosystems. Even a few individuals of species like Oaks, Black Sage, Willows, or California Buckwheat can support entire communities of pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, making them essential for ecological restoration and habitat gardening in the San Lorenzo Valley.
