Join us, the 20th Anniversary Celebration Committee,
as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour at the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir’s Upper Picnic Area. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other native plant enthusiasts who are creating habitat and bringing nature home. Above all, it is a chance for us to celebrate everything that Kathy Kramer has accomplished over the past 20 years coordinating the Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour.

The event will feature a pack-your-own picnic, a native plant and seed exchange, and a slice of cake to finish it all off! The timeline below can help you plan – come for the whole event or just the parts that interest you. Go here for more details.

California Native Plant Seed and Cutting Exchange
