2009 Plant Wish List
If you would like to contribute to the landscape of Deer Park, here is a list of the plants and materials we need.
Plants
We aspire to maintain Deer Park's landscape in harmony with the wild and natural plants of the area. Therefore, we must be very mindful not to bring plants and seeds that will spread into the natural landscape and undermine the health of the habitat. The plants we need are very specific and are listed below. Those in bold are needed most. If you have questions about a plant, please call Laura at (760) 740-9405.
