Calleguas’s Landscape is Change campaign aims to inspire the community of southern Ventura County to reimagine their outdoor spaces in a holistic and sustainable way. Here in Ventura County we have the benefit of a bright, varied, and vibrant plant palette, featuring varieties that are well-suited to our area’s rainfall and capable of cultivating a healthy, balanced backyard ecosystem. By replacing your grass with regionally appropriate plants, you can create a beautiful, resilient landscape that conserves water and supports local biodiversity.
