Sonoma and Marin county eco-garden tour on April 30

Learn from inspiring area gardens|

The Eco-Friendly Garden Tour is a public outreach and education program that promotes sustainable landscaping practices by showcasing inspiring gardens throughout Sonoma County and North Marin. The tour is organized by the Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership. The free, self-guided 2016 tour of close to 30 gardens will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday April 30. Registration is now open.

The April 30 tour highlights Russian River-friendly and Bay-friendly landscaping best practices, and supports local certified water-efficient landscape professionals by featuring their personal or client’s gardens.

For 2016, the Partnership is collaborating with both Daily Acts and the California Native Plant Society. Daily Acts focuses on urban homesteading and permaculture and CNPS will showcase a selection of California Native focused gardens.

On the same day, April 30, Daily Acts is offering free guided “Rockin’ Homesteads Tour” running concurrently from 1 to 4 p.m. in Petaluma, Windsor and Cotati. Each tour will visit several ecological gardens with a homegrown twist. Register for both events at savingwaterpartnership.org/eco-friendly-garden-tour/.
