Native Home Garden Tours
Do you have a yard that supports pollinators, birds, or local wildlife? From small urban lots to expansive suburban yards, every native garden has a story to tell—and your space could inspire others to create habitat in their own backyards. Whether you’re just getting started or have years of native planting experience, we invite you to share your space with our community!
As a tour host, you’ll:
• Connect with fellow native plant enthusiasts
• Share your successes (and lessons learned!)
• Help educate and inspire others in our community
Home garden tours occur at 10AM on Saturdays throughout the Spring/Summer months. Gardens of all sizes and stages are welcome. We especially love seeing real, lived-in landscapes that support biodiversity and reflect personal creativity.
