  "body": "The first El Segundo nature block named the field signals. This one turns the signal into a small planting palette.\n\nStart with the dune grammar: seacliff buckwheat where there is sun and drainage, beach suncups low in sandy pockets, deerweed where a loose restoration look is welcome, coyote brush where structure matters, lemonade berry if there is enough room, coast sunflower when you want a bright scrub note that still belongs here.\n\nThis is not a prescription. It is a register. Match the plant to the space, skip invasive groundcovers, give roots the rainy season when you can, and let the garden look a little wilder than a product photo. El Segundo already has the reference image: sand, scrub, and small flowers doing real work.",
