Rooted in Community
Tuolumne Blooms is an independent, community-supported resource dedicated to sustainable gardening in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Our Purpose
Gardening in the foothills presents unique challenges: shallow soils, hot summers, and the ever-present reality of wildfire risk. Yet, this landscape is also incredibly resilient and beautiful.
Our goal is to connect local gardeners with the knowledge they need to work withthis environment, rather than against it. We prioritize native species, water-wise practices, and fire-safe landscaping.
Ecological Focus
Supporting pollinators and soil health.
Community Sourced
Knowledge shared by local master gardeners.
Non-Commercial
Unbiased advice, free from sponsorship.
A Living Archive
This site is designed to grow slowly, just like a garden. We are building a long-term repository of local botanical knowledge that will serve Tuolumne County for decades.
