Plants of the South Bay<br />
Have you ever wondered about the trees, bushes and plants you<br />
see on the streets, lawns, business parks and open fields of the<br />
South Bay as you drive by? Or are they just “plants”? Some of<br />
these trees and bushes have colorful histories from the Wild West,<br />
the Middle East, or Medieval times. Some are good to eat, some<br />
are toxic, and some are just plain obnoxious, destroying sidewalks<br />
or displacing native species. They all influence the climate, the air<br />
we breathe, and the<br />
look of Southern<br />
California. Come<br />
and learn more about<br />
the plants of the<br />
South Bay.<br />
