Sheila Hill commented on Carol Rossi's blog post East Bay MUD dry-climate plant book a "must" for sustainable gardeners
"This book is a "must-have". Check out the EBMUD Water Conservation Garden at The Gardens at Heather Farm which features many of these plants - and you can purchase the book there too!"

Hi Carol,
I'm working on sprucing up our booth at the Concord Farmer's Market/Music in the Park every Thursday. I'd like to include an urban/backyard/community garden section, as this is one of my main passions. I'm hoping you might point me in some directions of resources to educate the public (and me!), as you seem knowledgeable on these subjects. I appreciate any feedback...Thanks, Anne
