Jacqueline (Jacquie) Williams-Courtright
As a Livermore native and 2nd generation garden center owner, water has always played a key role. My family came to Livermore in 1919. We grew walnuts commercially and founded Alden Lane Nursery in 1955. After graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor degree in Agriculture and major in Horticulture, I joined my parents in operating both the orchard and garden center.
I would like to be the community’s gardening advocate. Gardening and water conservation are not mutually exclusive. Together we can meet the needs of preserving our water resource while enabling homeowners to protect their landscape assets, grow their own food, garden and establish water wise plants.
Water availability, storage and quality along with sustainable use are key ingredients to our collective success. It would be an honor to represent you as a member of the Board.
