There are thousands of native California plants and Marin County’s Mediterranean climate is the perfect place for many of them. Learn why and how using native plants in your landscape is a way to help make up for habitat lost to development. Because native plants have co-evolved with native birds, butterflies, bees, other beneficial insects and mammals, planting them in your garden helps maintain these populations. By using native plants you can build a beautiful landscape that uses less water and fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

With his mother dead and father AWOL, Boy becomes the head of a household full of kids when his Nana leaves town for a funeral.
Out of nowhere, Boy’s Dad (Waititi) rolls up in a vintage car with his “gang”, and turns Boy’s life upside down. There are treasure hunts, fistfights, and falling-outs, as Boy grapples to learn why his Dad left the family so long ago.
