Concerning the Garden Tour
The gardens about this tour contain a minimum of 50% native plants. Each garden is really a labor of affection, a location produced harmoniously with southern California’s climate, soil, natural plant life and native wildlife. The gardens are split into two groups: one open Saturday and yet another open Sunday. Each and every location, you’ll meet garden proprietors, designers and docents. Make use of the descriptions and icons on this website to organize your personalized trip, selecting 4-7 gardens to go to every day in a leisurely pace.
The Building Blocks is in financial trouble towards the participants for opening their wonderful gardens towards the public, and also to our volunteer docents for discussing their understanding and enthusiasm. We’re hugely grateful for that support in our sponsors—including local companies, agencies and organizations.
