In a series of live garden visits passionate garden owners and the talented designers of the Bay Area’s most beautiful and inspiring landscapes will take us on private tours of their gardens. In addition, this year you can learn about the must-have plants for your garden, how to create a pollinator pathway, how to garden for birds, butterflies and bees, which native street trees you might want in front of your home, and more!

The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour and Green Home Features Showcase will be kicked off on April 15 with a keynote presentation by the inspirational, best-selling author Doug Tallamy. The online tour will feature beautiful native plant gardens that attract birds, bees, and butterflies, as well as talks on gardening for wildlife, how to create a rain garden, choose hardy and attractive shrubs for your garden, and more. In addition, a Bay Area home with solar panels, a heat pump for heating and cooling the house, an induction range, and more will be toured.
