Ocean Friendly Gardens at Green Building Council


USGBC California Central Coast Chapter Meeting
Monday January 25th 2010, 5:30 – 7:30pm
Patagonia Firehouse Building

Surfrider's Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) Director, Paul Herzog and Landscape Architect Pamela Berstler from the Green Gardens Group (G3) gave a great presentation tonight. They described the OFG program promoting beautiful, water-conserving gardens that reduce polluted runoff and restore urban wildlife habitat. Opportunities exist for homeowners, landscape professionals, and urban planners to all get involved in solving our urban runoff problem.

Look for more workshops and hands-on work days in 2010!
