May is Bay-Friendly Garden Month!Last year’s transition from a decade-long, on-day Bay-Friendly Garden Tour to a virtual Bay-Friendly Garden Month was a resounding success, and we will continue that virtual fanfare during May of 2021. Throughout the month, the Napa County Resource Conservation District (Napa RCD) and City of Napa Water will present a suite of live online workshops and garden tours, as well as featuring online resources to inspire local residents to adopt water-saving, sustainable landscaping practices in their own yards. From the hub at NapaRCD.org/GardenMonth2021, you can access pre-recorded videos and register for upcoming workshops. This year we are excited to announce workshops focusing on drawing good bugs to your gardens, kid-friendly gardening, greywater systems on a landowner scale, gardening to ensure gorgeous live flower bouquets for your home, and local garden tours showcasing our local Bay-Friendly Gardening rock stars. Additional resources will be added throughout the month, and all videos will be preserved for later viewing. Several garden visits will be Facebook Live events. Workshops will be presented via Zoom and Facebook Live, with registration available at the Bay-Friendly Garden Month home page: https://naparcd.org/GardenMonth2021. Sponsors and helpers for these virtual online events include the City of Napa, Napa County RCD, and UC Master Gardeners of Napa County. They are inspired by Bay-Friendly Landscaping & Gardening, a former program of ReScape California (rescapeca.org), a non-profit organization that advocates for a sustainable approach to landscaping that works in harmony with the natural environment. For more information, call Ashley at (707) 690-3117.
