Inviting Water to Stay Part I

About Soleil Tranquilli

Soleil Tranquilli was a naïve gardener who envisioned Elk Grove’s first Community Garden. It took six long years to organize and build the garden. Meanwhile we worked with Sacramento Master Gardeners and other experts to offer local workshops in natural gardening techniques for the backyard gardener. Soleil spent those years researching Biodynamic methods, composting & vermicomposting, and seed collecting. She holds AA degrees in Horticulture and advanced certification with The California School of Garden Design. She is a certified Feng Shui Professional and a Red Ribbon Pro of the International Feng Shui Guild. In 2012 she helped organize the area’s first River Friendly Garden Tour called the Elk Grove Greener Gardens Project. Locally she is a certified River Friendly Green Gardener and a proud Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper. It is a huge honor to be a guest Blue Thumb Blogger on the BeWaterSmart.org website. With her landscape design and feng shui practice she hopes to connect people to their place on the planet. Creating wildlife habitat with California native plants is her delight. Inviting folks back into the garden is her passion.
