The silver bush lupine, (Lupinus albifrons), is a striking shrub that offers year-long beauty to sunny, drought-tolerant gardens. With unique silver-green palmate leaves and stunning elongated purple flower clusters, this could be your new favorite native pollinator plant!

I'm a proud member of the East Palo Alto community, born and raised here. I am also an intern for Grassroots Ecology stationed at Cooley Landing in East Palo Alto. This summer I helped lead a 5-week program for 7th graders from the Boys & Girls Club of Peninsula. I'd like to share my top 3 moments of the program for me.

Over the past year, we have been working to develop our next strategic plan, thinking carefully about where we need to focus to bring our vision of healthy ecosystems and engaged communities that much closer. 

With support from the City of Mountain View, in 2023 Grassroots Ecology was awarded a four-year Valley Water, “Safe, Clean Water and Natural Protection Program” grant for the Mountain View Tidal Marsh Restoration Project!

I am helping to maintain climate-friendly architecture in the blocks around my home, meaning I could help protect my community against the negative effects of climate change.
