The Bay-Friendly Gardening and Landscaping Coalition is showcasing the 2nd Annual Bay-Friendly Garden Tour. This self-guided tour of residential, educational, and private gardens in San José demonstrates gardening techniques and templates that are attractive and sustainable in the Bay Area. The tour features gardens maintained by native plant enthusiasts, wildlife gardeners, elementary school students and teachers, and urban food growers who are happy to show you their work, discuss their accomplishments, and explain their challenges. Highlights include backyard orchards, kitchen gardens, live chickens and fish, as well as drought-tolerant replacements for water-thirsty lawns.
