10th Annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour

10th Annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour

This Spring’s 10th Annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour will open gates to home gardens located in city clusters in Alameda County on April 28th and Napa County on May 5th.

Although the gardens vary in style, they are similar in technique. The practices used to create and maintain these gardens reduce waste and pollution, conserve natural resources, and create vibrant landscapes and gardens. This is one of the hallmarks of Bay-Friendly gardening. It is a method of gardening naturally, but it does not dictate a specific style.
