• Description:
  Designer - Pamela Berstler with G3/The Green Gardens Group. Installation - community Garden Assistance Party (GAP), led by G3, and sponsored by a Whale Tail License Plate Grant from the California Coastal Commission. The turf grass in Dan's front yard was neither well-used or well-maintained. As an active member of his neighborhood council as well as a City of Ventura Planning Commissioner and on the County Fair Grounds Board, Dan wanted to be an example of sustainable landscaping. He decided to attend an OFG Watershed Basics Class and, because of his readiness to retrofit his landscape, was picked to be the site for an OFG Hands-On Workshop on Site Evaluation and Garden Assistance Party (GAP). Jill Sarick, Water Resource Specialist with the City of Ventura, awarded Dan a City-funded OFG yard sign. Jill also created a great City OFG webpage: http://www.cityofventura.net/water/ofg Read about the Class, HOW and GAP in this blog post: http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/ventura-chapter-teams-with-city-for-ocean-friendly-gardens-program-series
