Planting good ideas

Everything is coming up green for Sonoma Mayor Laurie Gallian, master gardener Jean Hopeman and Assemblymember Jared Huffman at “Sustainability Day.” The day of hands-on workshops and expert panel discussions drew more than 200 to Sonoma Garden Park. Topics included water conservation, rainwater harvesting, native plants, home and solar energy, green transportation, volunteering and more. The July 9 event was presented by the Sonoma Ecology Center in partnership with the City of Sonoma.
