Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour 5/6/2007

We went to the East Bay to view some of the gardens in the 2007 Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour on 5/6/2007. Many of the photos include the label with plant variety, if viewed at original size. We also visited the UC Berkeley California Native Bee Garden (see separate gallery).

Participants in BBtNGT are welcome to download and use these images. If any are published, a photo credit to George Hamma would be appreciated.

  • The house is well above the street, and the hill continues steeply above the house on the south side.  There are several deck areas, all with excellent views.  The information desk was very well sited.

  • This is the view from the house, looking out the windows to the west and the Golden Gate.  There was a very old, corroded tripod on the covered deck that had obviously been very well used.
