FALLBROOK – Southwest Boulder & Stone will hold a free seminar presented by Greg Rubin, owner of California’s Own Native Landscape Design, on Oct. 9 in the gardens at its Fallbrook stone yard.

Rubin will discuss in detail how to capture nature’s beauty in one’s home landscape.

He will demonstrate how to create native landscapes with year-round color.

Rubin claims he can help residents reduce high water bills, attract more birds and butterflies, and make gardens more fragrance in a tranquil setting.

Rubin started working with native plants back in 1985 while renovating his parent’s home in Chatsworth.

Although educated and subsequently employed in a successful engineering Advertisement

Soon he was landscaping for friends and family on weekends and holidays.

Demand continued to rise, and by 1993 he was able to start his successful and unusual landscaping business.

Since that time, his company has designed more than 500 native landscapes in Southern California. 

Rubin has been featured in a number of newspapers and magazines.

The seminar will be held from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 9. Southwest Boulder & Stone is located at 5002 Second St. in Fallbrook. To reserve a spot, call (760) 451-3333, ext. 718, or register online at www.southwestboulder.com.
