Garden Farm Tour

Today we enjoyed the "Bay-Friendly Gardening Tour". We made it to just three of the many gardens that were open for the tour, and only one of those three was a residential garden. But there's another tour next week, so we should have plenty of time to get our fill of residential gardens. Today, we focused on the "farming" end of gardening, hitting a 1-acre "family farm" out in the very hot Pleasanton, a 5,000sf community garden in Oakland, and a crazy Berkeley yard with goats, bees, chickens, rabbits, and somehow there was room for vegetables & fruits.

Below: "did you get my smile?" says Molly; Molly and Zach watch a baby goat invade a compost pile; Zach gets up close with a mama goat; Sofia shows off her dress (the girls all wore dresses for the day); a baby goat investigates Sofia & Clara; Sofia & Clara investigate a baby goat; Zach and Molly watch something interesting (another baby goat, perhaps?); Molly is enchanted by the baby goat.
