Calling all Gardeners!
This Saturday, January 28 at noon, Alrie will present the popular talk “Twelve Months of Color in the Native Garden.” After the talk, John Farais, our beloved “indigenous edibles” chef will be serving lunch fresh from our garden.

Your contribution or CNGF membership renewal of $38.00 gets a meal ticket and the lecture. That membership also buys you a 10% discount on any plant at the nursery.
We’ll be announcing new classes and sign ups. Alrie’s “Hiking California” series starts in February and sign-ups for this popular class open this Saturday. Class size is limited to 20. No pre-registration before Saturday.

| Madia elegans – Elegant tarweed blooms August and September |
Won’t you please…
Come out, support the work of CNGF, and buy some of our under-utilized natives that bring color all year long to the garden. Now that the rains are coming, it’s time to get these plants in the ground!
Come on down!
