Bring Back the Natives Garden Tour: is a free self-guided tour of over fifty gardens in the East Bay. Advanced registration is necessary and donations are suggested. There are also native plants for sale at a number of native plant nurseries and tours at the UC Botanic Garden. If you do I especially recommend that you go to Jenny and Scott Fleming’s garden which is now over 50 years old possibly the top private native plant garden in California.
