Shrubs at MuRefuge 2012

My "tried and true" recommended resource for California Shrubs is Complete Garden Guide to the Native Shrubs of California by Glenn Keator.  Robert Kourik's The Lavender Garden: Beautiful Varieties to Grow and Gather is wonderful for lavender plant information.  AND enjoy seasonal lavender ice cream from Screamin' Mimi's.  MuRefuge supplies the lavender flowers picked at midday when the oils are at their height.
