In honor of California's shandy creeksides and peaceful understory. Shade-loving California wild rose or wild grape, blue rye grass, native iris, blue-eyed grass, Mexican lobelia, coffee berry and magically medicinal Elderberry. A grassy native garden that likes a little more shade and occasional dampness (think the earthy vibes of a creek edge). Great for hedging in around old established trees.
