Kimberly TrueParticipantHenry, thank you for taking the time to look! I really appreciate it.
Have you by chance had any experience with the modular tray system roofs? If so, do you have any thoughts on them versus a ‘standard’ green roof?

Kimberly TrueParticipantNo. I just explain to them that there are numerous layers generated by LandFX, and it hasn’t been a problem.

Kimberly TrueParticipantLandscape Plants for California Gardens by Bob Perry, available online: http://landdesignpublishing.com/index.html
Landscape Plants for Western Regions is out of print.
Bob’s book will get you up to speed on California climate considerations and water use in addition to plants.December 29, 2009 at 1:25 am #176378
Kimberly TrueParticipantTook the exam this morning and passed! Everything stated above is good to study, plus know your basic plant pathology (diseases). Good luck everyone!

Kimberly TrueParticipantI was only able to find LARE resources on the PPI2pass website. From what I hear, you need to just be fresh on all of the LARE multiple choice stuff, know you plants, water conservation, and bring lots of common sense. I hear that there are things you just can’t study for on the exam; you’ve either experienced it in practice or not. I hear there are questions regarding the agencies, CEQA/CCC/USACE jurisdictions on wetland work, BMP questions…the stuff Nanda posted and what Mike added seems to be good to skim. I’ll know more tomorrow after I take the exam!!!

Kimberly TrueParticipantThank you Nanda! Mike, I’m also hoping to take the CA section at the end of the month and have been searching for study materials to no avail, other that Nanda’s post. I agree that the State guide is too vague to offer any meaningful benefit. I have some old multiple choice questions from a UCLA course for the LARE that was thrown in…the questions ask mostly about plant types, what you’d use in what types of hydrozones, firescaping questions, invasive plants, soil knowledge…pretty much in line with Nanda’s guide. I suspect that being familiar with the the California BMP handbook wouldn’t hurt, considering the current focus on water quality.

If anyone else has taken the CA exam or found an materials, or can give any tips, I’d sure appreciate any help or ideas!
