Meadowood's landscape consists of various terrains, microclimates and plant communities, including oak woodland, riparian forest, and chaparral, which support a wide variety of birds and animals. Native plant species include the Big Leaf maple, Black California Walnut, California Lilac, California Poppy, Chamise, Douglas Fir, Madrone, Sticky Monkey Flower, Sword Fern and many more. Additionally, the property is accented by non-native plants, which are used for color and their ability to thrive in California's Mediterranean climate. These consist of Jasmine, Laurel, Magnolia, Olive and Camellias to name but a few. |
