NirvanaMan and I have purchased our tickets to the
annual Theodore Payne Native Plant Garden tour. The tour is actually 2 days (Saturday April 10 and Sunday April 11), but we're only doing the Sunday tour. Anyone feel like joining us?
From the site:
The Theodore Payne Native Plant Garden tour is a two-day, self-guided journey through 50 of the most beautiful and inspiring native landscapes in the Los Angeles area.
On the tour, you’ll discover the beauty and many benefits of the California native plants. You’ll learn from experienced native-plant gardeners and volunteer docents how they have reduced water use, eliminated harmful pesticides and fertilizers, and attracted songbirds, hummingbirds and butterflies to their yards.
To help you select gardens and get the most out of your tour, we have posted photos and descriptions of each garden on the tour. Take a few minutes to visit these pages and plan your journey with us.
