Get inspired on the 9th annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour, Sunday, April 29th. The tour showcases real local talent and gives you the chance to talk to fellow Alamedans with very diverse, but sustainable gardens.
Come see how Alameda gardeners are growing edibles year-round in favor of lawns and creating family friendly gardens designed by and for children. Tour goers will also be privy to local landscape designer and longtime Alameda resident, Georgia Madden’s favored choices of Mediterranean plants with exotic collections being showcased in two host gardens, one which happens to be her personal garden.
Ploughshares Nursery will host a noontime talk on tour day with tips for growing perennial edibles and offering a special day-of discount on plants. This means you'll have the chance to not only see a tremendous palette of plants, but also the opportunity to bring some home.
