Sunset Cliffs Linear Park Project

Dave Flietner asked me to blog about his project: The Sunset Cliffs Linear Park Project.

This project is to make a garden on the ocean side cliffs where, today, there's just bare dirt. We are going to transform this spot into something that is worthy of its location at the north tip of Sunset Cliffs.

This project is part of the CNPS Gardening Committee - and Dave has done a great job of partnering with San Diego Parks, CalNative and the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council. The Natural Park Council is the entity that encompasses the entire cliffside area.

Our project is a subset of that park.

Our goal is to demonstrate that native plants can make beautiful gardens that are in tune with their environment while being cheaper and easier to maintain than standard gardens.  At the same time, we want to enhance this site as a place to gather and enjoy the scenic cliffs and the ocean.

Explore this site to learn what we've done so far, what we have planned, and how you can participate.

Here is what we want you to do: Adopt A Plant. Click on the link, pick out your favorites and use PayPal to buy the plant for the Park. Tax deductible contribution!

Thanks!
