On May 4th, my husband and I went on a wonderful self-guided tour called "Bring Back the Natives Garden Tour(TM)." We had gone to the web site, http://www.bringingbackthenatives.net/, to view the open gardens and their plant lists. Taking the plant lists with us really helped us figure out what native plants we liked and which ones also fell on our list of drought tolerant plants provided by Santa Clara County. It was fantastic to see what others have done. Take a look at the gardens #15 and #17!!On April 28th, we had attended a wonderful plant sale at Foothill College. I strongly recommend everyone attend their next sale (see below for info.)...Great plants at unbelievable prices:) ..too good to miss!
