Native Plant Garden Tour: Brandy Williams, South Central LA
Brandy Williams' home garden is a wonderful example of the ways that a lawn can be transformed into a habitat for pollinators, as well as a space to experiment and be creative. Visit this garden along many others on our Native Plant Garden Tour April 23-14, 2022.

“It’s our responsibility as homeowners to protect these species.” I love that!
I appreciate your non-snobbish attitude about using nonnative plants that are not invasive when they suit your environment. Your grandmother taught you a lot.
My family is from Compton too (60s - 70s . Grandma moved out with her sisters from an orphanage in Kentucky. They were both amazing gardeners. I didn’t realize how impactful heirloom genetics and traditional/cultural techniques had until later as an adult. Post WWII LA had a true melting pot of folks bringing their best farming and cultivation knowledge to the area and it really showed in residential gardens. Your style skill shows your connection to this wonderful legacy. 💚
All her plants show their colors so much better against the lovely black and white paint! I love how easily she mixes succulents with natives creating her own style along the way...such a beautiful yard.
I love the analogy of the garden as a scrapbook. It aligns with my observation about my own garden that has plants incorporating cuttings from friends, plants transplanted from my mom's garden. Also Brandy William's front yard is a lovely oasis of inspiration. Thanks Theo Payne for sharing!
That’s my professor!!! Woop woop!!
Absolutely beautiful garden and what an inspiration to create something both beautiful and sustainable ..!!

Your Grandmother taught you very well! You are an artist and a wonderful steward of native plant habitat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.
That’s one gorgeous yard. Gardening goals: have mine look as lush and colorful as yours!

Beautiful garden!
What a beautiful garden! I'm trying to work with native plants in my area (Maryland) as well, but I certainly don't have your artistic sense and talents. I so wish I could convince family in the LA area to work with native plants and the climate instead of against the natural flow. Thank you for sharing your garden and thoughts.
Great work Brandy, the garden looks great :)
Wow. Out of all the TPF videos I've just watched, I loved the message that Brandy is giving. Very beautiful.
Thank you Brandy. Good luck. 🌹🍀🌺☀️
Beautiful garden and home! Thanks for the inspiration. I do love how you combine succulents with natives. That is something I have been curious about incorporating into my own landscape.
Beautiful Queen!
You are a true inspiration
Wow-- absolutely gorgeous and sustainable garden!

Obsesseddddddd
Very nice. Thank you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
so beautiful!!
I love love love what you've done. What zone are you there? I'm 10b in San Diego and am pretty much starting over. I have some creative Hardscapes on my third acre and you have inspired me to try to keep going. My former cottage garden was fantastic but when i had no choice but to remove the podocarpus, it changed the whole micro climate. I'm hoping I can find more of your visions for my inspirations. Thanks!!!
Such a beautiful, thoughtful yard.
LOVE the focus on native pollinators, regeneration and water capture! Do you do permaculture - planting food in the garden? Seems like the West coast would be wonderful for that. (Beautiful artistry btw)
😊 I knew she knew her stuff when she included that she used introduced plants that weren't considered invasive, a lot of people just automatically think that introduced plants are invasive or that they cannot be part of your garden. I prefer trying to avoid as many as possible but having a few that you researched and no is an invasive are totally fine
Good to see some succulents and agaves in there as well
Love your garden
Great video It’s amazing to see your knowledge and understanding of the land and climate. Unfortunately people in my country (Israel) Are planting exclusively invasive plants because they’re giving more shade 🤦🏻♂️. They’re destroying the ecosystem, and not understanding the richness of shrubs Mediterranean climate has.
Brandi, do you have your own You tube channel? Your garden is beautiful!
Awesome yard. What’s the ceanothus in the parkway?
Your mallows look great. I got 2 from ttheodore payne and both died. I watered it regularly(twice a week) as a new plant and had it in a partial sun location. Leaves were crispy bwown yellow. So dissapointed. Want to try again but not repeat mistakes. Can u help?
The garden looks fabulous. Who does your hair 😊 Have you heard of Geoff Lawton, what do you think 🤔
