Lawn Replacement
Lawn Replacement. Lawns don't really belong in a summer-dry Mediterranean climate like Sonoma County. So get busy and replace that thirsty, water-sucking lawn with something else. There are lots of alternatives.

Sonoma County Master Gardeners have partnered with the Sonoma County Water Agency on a new project called GardenSense. A free on-site consultation by a pair of GardenSense Consultants will demonstrate to residents how to easily conserve water (and save money) by creating a climate-appropriate garden that is healthy, environmentally sound, and most of all – beautiful!

Tarragon
Unlike many woody herbs, TARRAGON, is winter-dormant and is grown as an annual in most parts of Sonoma County. This is best transplanted. Look for “French Tarragon” for the preferred culinary variety. Fresh sprigs of tarragon can be used to infuse oil or white vinegar. Fresh chopped leaves added to butter is a tasty savory spread. Don't miss out of this sensational culinary herb!
