350 Home & Garden Challenge - May 12 & 13

Join your neighbors in Sonoma County to save water and energy, grow food, and build community.  Removing your thirty lawn can save more water than replacing all your interior fixtures.  Plant vegetables, herbs, or create a beautiful native garden.  Daily Acts has more information about the successes of the challenge since 2010.  Some actions they suggest:

• convert your lawn (or patio/balcony) to grow food
• plant a fruit tree
• create an herb garden
• grow a row for a local food bank
• start a worm bin or compost
• install low flow
• set up a greywater system

• harvest rainwater
• switch to drip irrigation
• hang a clothes line
• conduct a home energy audit
• unplug and tune-in to Nature
• have a block party and share stories
• help a neighbor meet the 350 Challenge

Forrest Glover Design  has recently joined forces with a wonderful native garden design and landscaping company to create stunning, earth friendly, and low maintenance gardens for your home or business.

Outdoor Living

Increase you living space without a major remodel.  In Northern California, you can live at least 6 months outside without threat of rain.  Outdoor living can be as simple as a couple of lounge chairs.  Our favorite is a dining area for beautiful dinner parties and al fresco lunches with friends and family.
