Spring Open Garden at the Native Habitat Garden @ Bay Farm School Garden | Alameda | California | United States

Everyone is invited to attend the Spring Open Garden at the Native Habitat Garden at Bay Farm School (200 Aughinbaugh Way) on Saturday, May 17 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon.

This award-winning garden is more than just a school garden. It’s an incredible collection of native plants, a passion project for Mr. Nettles (1st Grade teacher at Bay Farm and native plant expert), and is turning into an educational space through a native plant phenology project being conducted by students and teachers.

The garden was recently featured in an article in the Alameda Post, written by Kristen Smeal and Mr. Nettles, and was also a stop along the US Dept. of Education Green Strides 2023 tour.

Celebrate the beauty of native plants in full spring bloom at the school’s Bay Farm Native Habitat Garden! Stroll through the garden at your own pace, enjoy the seasonal colors, and discover how native plants support local wildlife.

At 11:00 AM, don’t miss a special talk by Mr. Nettles, who will share insights into native gardening, habitat restoration, and how you can make a difference in your own backyard. This is a free, family-friendly event—everyone is welcome

When: June 14, 2025 - 10am to noon
Where: Mastick Senior Center - Room D, 1155 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA 94501

Creating your own herbal tea blends is a beautiful way to stay connected to nature throughout the different cycles and seasons of the year. In this workshop, we’ll cover the essentials of harvesting, drying, and storing herbs to preserve their potency for long-term use. We’ll also explore the beneficial properties of common, low-risk herbs, many of which can easily be grown in Bay Area gardens. Participants will craft their own personalized tea blends to take home, along with the knowledge of how to incorporate these plants into their daily routine for greater health and vitality, as well as connection and belonging to the earth.

Facilitator: Danièle Fogel, PhD, founder of Yervika, an organization fostering connection and belonging through herbs. Admission is free. Please visit this link to register. *
