Bay Area homeowners are making their gardens aesthetically pleasing, attractive to birds and butterflies, water-wise, and low maintenance by incorporating California native plants. Visit gardens landscaped with native plants on this free annual tour, now in its fourteenth year.

Garden information, maps and directions will become available to registrants the week of April 3. Registrations will be accepted until Sun, Apr 10, 2016, 3:00 pm. For information, visit www.gngt.org or email info@gngt.org To sponsor or support the tour, contact info@GoingNativeGardenTour.org.

The garden at the Don Edwards SFBNWR Environmental Education Center, Alviso was established to provide habitat for songbirds and butterflies, and to demonstrate herbicide-free gardening for wildlife using beautiful California native plants. It contains mature specimens of Ceanothus, fuchsia-flowered gooseberry, pink flowering currant, and black sage in a natural setting. Among trees, look for California buckeye, western sycamore, Fremont cottonwood, and alder. Join us as part of the Going Native Garden Tour on Sun, Apr 10 2016 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
