Visit the Garden Tour’s table and chat with Lainie Johnson about how you can hold fun native-plant related events in your area that will help you make new friends while doing the planet good.
Bring California native plants, native plant cuttings, and native seeds to share. (Don’t worry if you don’t have anything to bring – there is usually more than enough to go around.) Contribute to the Book Exchange by bringing nature-related book you are ready to pass along.
