The award-winning in-person Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour and Green Home Features Showcase allows registrants to visit nearly seventy beautiful, water-conserving native plant gardens in Alameda and Contra Costa County. All of the homes have native plant gardens; twenty-seven of them will also be sharing their green home features, including solar panels and batteries, induction ranges, heat pumps, and more. Registrants will be able to go into three of these homes to see induction ranges, heat pumps, and more.
Registrants will learn how design a native plant garden for color and interest throughout the year, garden for wildlife, lower their water bills, protect their family’s health and the environment by gardening without using pesticides, and electrify their homes.
What’s special about California native plants? They are adapted to our soil and climate, naturally water conserving, and easy to care for. California native plants are better than non-native plants when it comes to attracting native birds, butterflies, and other forms of wildlife. And, as the gardens on the Tour show, these lovely gardens display a sense of place that is uniquely Californian.
