A virtual “Gardens Gone Native” tour! If you missed the gardens during our April tour —or were not able to get to all of the gardens you wanted to see —here’s your chance to see what you missed! Presented by GGN Chair Susan Fregien, this virtual tour will showcase our own CNPS member gardens and take you all over town in just one evening. They include drought tolerant gardens and ponds; well-manicured “traditional look” gardens, habitat gardens, artistic gardens, and “wild” gardens. From newly planted to long-established, our members’ gardens are as diverse as we are! Our tour will certainly have something for everyone, to inspire your own native landscaping ambitions.
