The Watershed Management Group’s Fall 2011 Newsletter featured an article by Paul Herzog of Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Gardens Program. The article discusses the transformation of a typical turf-covered front yard in Ventura County, CA into a beautiful, California-native front yard that holds all the rain from the adjacent roof. This garden was designed by the homeowner after attending an OFG Watershed Basics Class hosted by Surfrider Ventura Chapter and the City of Ventura, and taught by G3. The garden was installed through an OFG GAP Volunteer Workday that was led by G3 and was the site of the first Ventura County Lawn Patrol. WMG OFG Profile
