Here’s a nice little resource that might help you in your gardens. Mason Bee Houses specifically attract small, non-stinging Mason bees, who are total work horses when it comes to pollination. Each one visits as many as 1,000 blooms per day – 20 times more than honeybees. I purchased mine from an online gardening site. You just hang them from a sunny tree or fence, and off you go!

Also, please check growinggoinggone.com for information regarding the Edible City Movie about the local food movement, and to view photos of the beautiful Berkeley Hills backyard farm that I toured on Saturday.

Inspirational. Beautiful. Productive.
