The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour is an annual, free event which attracts more than 6,000 Bay Area residents each year. The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour takes place the first Sunday in May. Advertisers in the printed garden guide will reach an audience of primarily Alameda and Contra Costa County residents who are interested gardening in general, and in related environmental issues such as pesticide use reduction, water conservation, and habitat protection. The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour is a free tour of 40 gardens in Alameda and Contra Costa counties that are pesticide-free, water-conserving, provide habitat for wildlife, and contain 60% or more native plants.
