Going Native Garden Tour seeks volunteers
Sun, April 30, 2006, 10am-4pm

The fourth annual Going Native Garden Tour will feature 46 native gardens 
located throughout the Santa Clara Valley and Peninsula. These gardens 
demonstrate the many benefits of native plant gardening: beauty, water 
conservation, habitat, low maintenance, and independence from chemical 
fertilizers and pesticides. Admission is free; registration is required 
at http://www.goingnativegardentour.org.

The tour is seeking volunteers to serve as greeters or docents at one of 
the gardens on tour day, Sunday, April 30, 2006. Greeters welcome 
visitors, have them sign guestbooks, and answer general questions; 
knowledge of native plant gardening is not necessary. Docents conduct 
guided tours of the garden; they have gardening knowledge and familiarity 
with the assigned garden.

Volunteering for the tour is a great way to enhance your knowledge of 
native plant gardening. Volunteers receive invitations to visit private 
native gardens throughout the year, most of which have plant lists, and 
to the annual potluck in May.

To volunteer for the Going Native Garden Tour, visit 
http://www.goingnativegardentour.org and sign up as a GNGT Volunteer.
