Committee readies outreach and tabling for May 9 garden tour to promote low-water landscaping
Loading...
Summary
The committee will staff a table at the Sonoma-Marin eco-friendly garden tour on May 9 with Refugia of Marin, recruit Master Gardeners for on-site advice, and use QR codes to link residents to low-water landscaping resources and rebates.
Britney, lead for the low-water landscaping item, outlined plans to partner with Refugia of Marin at the Sonoma-Marin garden tour on May 9 to promote drought-tolerant garden design and rebate information.
The committee plans to share a table with Refugia, recruit Master Gardeners to provide one-on-one consultations, and use QR codes to guide residents to resources such as Marin Water rebate pages and UC Davis plant-selection guides. Britney proposed family-friendly engagement (rock painting and plant giveaways) to draw visitors and suggested seeking small budget support for supplies and promotional boosts. Committee members emphasized the need to state a clear call to action (e.g., "consider low-water landscaping and check rebate eligibility") and to align outreach materials with other subcommittees to reduce duplication.
The event is a focal point for outreach, but members urged that the work continue beyond one day. The subcommittee will coordinate distribution of draft materials by email and confirm Master Gardener and Marin Water participation before May 9.
