This weekend I had a chance to revisit five of the twenty gardens that will be on the 2015 Garden Native Tour on March 28-29. One cool sighting was the new CNPS sign that features a monarch butterfly feasting on native milkweed.
The gardens were looking nice now, and should be great at the end of the month for the tour. Here are a few great details:
A compact, long-established garden at a condominium, with large, mature shrubs and lots of dappled sunlight…a step into a bright woodland…
The interpretive native plant landscape at Old Town San Diego State Historical Park–The site will serve as one of the sign-in points on the tour weekend.
…and some random great ideas…
I have too many things going on this month, but–hey–this will have to be one of them!
Twenty gardens! We visited 17 over three days during the Portland Fling and it was pretty exhausting. This was a nice taste. Do show more.
Maybe over two days twenty won’t be way too much. But yah there’s definitely a garden tour glaze that can hot around garden number 5 or so…
I didn’t realize they had garden tours out there. I would love to see them! Down here in Homestead, Florida, we are know for the everglades. It can be nice in it’s own rights but not because of the gardens. However, we do live near what they call the Redlands and there are tons of nurseries for good plants and flowers to create a great backyard landscape that attracts all kinds of wildlife!
