About Event

​Come over this Sunday afternoon to meet an inspiring real-life hero, David Newsom, the founder of The Wild Yards Project. He will share with us his many boots-on-the-ground experiences transforming sterile, lifeless spaces back into vibrant, native habitat. He will show us his stunning garden designs which do more than just look gorgeous — they support and uplift our whole community of plants, wildlife, and people.

​

​Bio: David Newsom is a father of two wild ones, a husband and a 30 year veteran of film and tv. He founded the Wild Yards Project in 2018, after watching his own sterile urban yard spring to life, courtesy of native plants, a lot of love and the guidance of great teachers. David combines his past as as storyteller and photographer with his passion for creating native habitats to spread awareness of this movement far and wide. David created the Wild Yards Project because the plants and critters insisted.
