Palo Alto, CA
If you enjoy touring gardens or need clever ideas for your garden, then you don't want to miss this annual event!
This is a critical fundraiser for my friends at Common Ground, a 501(c)3 nonprofit project of Ecology Action. Enjoy a memorable and educational day and show your support too!
Besides visiting ten beautiful gardens all with an edible landscape theme, you'll also see how these suburban residents practice organic and sustainable methods.

This year the Edible Landscaping Tour is featuring lots of front
yard edible gardens. Gone are the days when vegetable gardens were
considered inappropriate for the front yard. Come see a variety
of gardens demonstrating that growing food is not just practical, but
beautiful!
