This week we planted a perennial insectary hedgerow alongside our crops, between the farmable portion and the area under conservation easement. The hedgerow consists of two 500-foot rows with more than 300 plants. There are 15 different species of native plants, including elderberry, ceanothus, coyote brush, California sage, wax myrtle, California rose, giant buckwheat, sticky monkey flower, and saltbush. These plants attract beneficial insects by providing habitat, nectar, and pollen.
