The Blackie’s Pasture Garden in Tiburon was started in March 1995 on approximately 1.5 acre of a former parking area, on the suggestion of the Tiburon Peninsula Foundation. From humble beginnings – three large mounds of construction land fill and hearty native plants – the garden now has over 100 cubic yards of topsoil and a drip irrigation system, and is producing much better results. The pesticide-free, full-sun, public garden features approximately 3,000 drought-resistant native plants, not only from California, but Mediterranean areas of South Africa, Mexico, and Australia, which gives a greater result for color, longer lasting bloom periods, and size of plants. Over 150 plant markers have been created in Latin and English for easy identification, and are updated regularly to help educate visitors to this easy-access garden.
