Bay-Friendly is......

….. a holistic approach to gardening and landscaping that works in harmony with the natural conditions of the San Francisco Bay Watershed.  Bay-Friendly practices foster soil health, conserve water and other valuable resources while reducing waste and preventing pollution.

The Bay-Friendly Gardening Program offers the home gardener tools for creating a beautiful and healthy Bay-Friendly garden.  Likewise, the Bay-Friendly Landscaping Program provides resources for landscape professionals to design, construct, and maintain Bay-Friendly landscapes for clients.

Bay-Friendly printed materials offer tools & resources for tips on best management practices, project evaluation criteria, case studies, and more. Bay-Friendly publications can be downloaded as a PDF.

The goal of the Coalition is to expand the Bay-Friendly landscaping and gardening programs to the entire nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. Join the Coalition today as an annual member or sponsor and help bring Bay-Friendly to your community.
