Tujunga was named by the 'Tongva' Native Americans and means "The Place where Mother Nature Lives". The native garden started in 2001 and it has blossomed to over a hundred native species. With almost an acre of garden area, spanning multiple lots, their property resembles a small botanical garden, more than a home garden. 

The native Californian gardens at Quail Hollow and Quail Hill have a relatively informal, wildlife-friendly look, with many winding paths and water features that attracts over 100 species of avian visitors year round, including over a hundred daily quail and such rarities as the Lawrence's Goldfinch, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Least Bell's Vireo and California Gnatcatcher. Squirrels, chipmunks, jack rabbits, coyote and even an occasional bobcat frequent the yard.

A 6 1/2 minute video of birds found at Quail Hollow is available on YouTube and a documentary about Quail Hollow is available here.
