Details

Saturday & Sunday, May 3 & 4

Visit Jenny Michael and Craig Valentine’s garden in Alameda. Lot size: 1070 sq. ft. front and 1840 sq. ft. back garden, 95% native

This colorful garden invites both people and wildlife to stop in and linger. The path through the front garden is bordered by a cheerful array of pink clarkia, red rosy buckwheat, cream-colored yarrow, and the sweetly-scented magenta hummingbird sage; plantings of purple seaside daisies border the sidewalk..

Learn which plants function as year-round privacy screens, while spectacular native sunflowers rise up ten feet or more in the summertime. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love the blue flowers of the woolly bluecurls and lacy phacelia, the orange monkeyflowers, and the red-flowering currants.

Together, the front and back gardens now boast more than 75 species of California native plants.

Virtual Tour April 5 & 6. In-person Tour May 3 & 4

During the free in-person Tour from 10 am-5 pm on May 3 & 4 more than 50 homeowners in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties are opening their native plant gardens, and some of them will open their homes.
