Sustainable Solano's Suisun & Fairfield Demonstration Food Forest Garden Tour

Sustainable Solano will host a tour of demonstration food forest gardens in Fairfield and Suisun from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 4. The self-guided tour of three gardens will start with check-in at Suisun Wildlife Center at 1171 Kellogg St. from 10-11 a.m. The wildlife center is home to a demonstration pollinator garden. At 10 a.m., attendees will have the opportunity to attend a talk at the wildlife center from local Master Gardeners about attracting beneficial insects and managing pest insects without pesticides and chemicals. From there, tour participants can visit two private gardens that use rainwater and secondary water, such as laundry-to-landscape greywater systems, to support abundant food-producing ecosystems. Tour participants can ask our food forest keepers questions, enjoy the gardens, be inspired and get ideas on how you can work these design principles into their own yards!
