California Native Garden Foundation

July 20, 2012 by Bay Nature

The California Native Garden Foundation is a nonprofit educational, research, and resource organization that promotes gardening with California native plants. Our goal is to increase the popularity and use of California’s native plants in the designed landscape and to return our soil to its ecological origins. CNGF awards grants to schools, colleges, museums, and public spaces by offering pro bono garden design, native plants (donated by generous native plant nurseries), and volunteer assistance. CNGF also offers a Distinguished Native Garden certification program for private and public native gardens.

Bloom Gardens

July 20, 2012 by Bay Nature

We’ve been building quality residential landscapes since 1983. We install new gardens and renovate older ones in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and San Francisco Counties. Our designs synthesize your needs and our vision. Through expert construction, our installations transform properties into dream getaways and natural habitats. We also offer lawn to edible conversions, children’s and container gardens. Our approach is sustainable, low water use, and cost effective. Our beautiful hardscapes– Patios, paths, retaining walls, fences–provide settings for California natives and Mediterranean plants that thrive here. Our crews get rave reviews. We also offer consultations to homeowners, realtors, Homeowners’ Associations.
