Help Create a Garden of
Native California Plants!

Discover the beauty and benefits of native
plants that are adapted to our climate and
soils. The Friends of Marsh Creek
Watershed need your help to create a
public garden to showcase these drought
tolerant, pest resistant plants that provide
habitat for native butterflies and birds.
Bring your garden gloves, trowel, bag
lunch and community spirit!   The garden is
at the north end of Creekside Park in
Brentwood, across from the 900 block of
Crescent Drive.  

Please call Diane at 925.325.2908 or
email her at [email protected] if you are
interested in being notified of our next
planting date.

Next Work Dates
will be  
May 9
and
