4th Annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour
Sunday, April 29 2007 from 10am to 4pm
Showcasing Natural Gardening Techniques
Visit a wide assortment of Bay-Friendly Gardens on this FREE, self-guided tour. Over 40 public and private gardens will be featured throughout Alameda County, including an entirely new crop of gardens! Several of the garden clusters are walkable and/or bikeable.
This year's tour continues to celebrate the diverse styles of Bay-Friendly gardens. You’ll see examples of front lawns replaced with vibrant perennials, backyard orchards, terraced hillsides, unique play spaces for children and pets and urban farms replete with chickens and bees. Bay-Friendly Gardens offer something for everyone--come and discover ideas for creating your perfect retreat.
Registration for the tour is required. Registrants will receive a tour guide book with garden directions and descriptions by mail. Native plants, vegetable starts and Mediterranean perennials can be purchased at select sites on the tour.
Online registration and a sneak preview of the 2007 gardens are available at http://www.BayFriendly. org. Please register by April 19th so that you can receive a tour guide book.
Want to be more involved?
Volunteers are also needed for the day of the tour. In just a 3.5 hour shift, volunteers will help the host gardeners by greeting guests, distributing information and answering questions. We will do our best to match volunteers to the gardens and/or location of their choice.
Volunteers will meet other gardeners and receive a Bay-Friendly Gardening cotton t-shirt, an advanced copy of the tour book, and garden gifts while furthering the goals of Bay-Friendly Gardening—encouraging the use of ecological gardening practices in order to conserve local resources and protect the Bay.
