A Garden in Five Parts - Baja Section

 On April 22 I gave a Zoom talk for the San Diego chapter of the California Native Plant Society. The topic was my garden and its five different sections. Since I haven't blogged since December, I'm going to post all of my slides from the Zoom presentation. First comes the Baja section. I'll post the rest tomorrow. The slides will generally speak for themselves but I will add a few notes where it might be helpful. 

Note: if you plant Shaw's Agave, watch out for the spines. They are lethal. Also, the juice inside the leaves will burn your skin, so use caution when trimming it.
