The idea behind the name...

The idea for Planting Communities comes from the idea of plant communities in nature. According to Cal Poly Land, “A plant community is a recognizable and complex assemblage of plant species which interact with each other as well as with the elements of their environment and is distinct from adjacent assemblages. A plant community is not a static entity: rather it may vary in appearance and species composition from location to location and also over time.” I see our organization as creating and reacting to the local community in which we all inhabit.
