3rd Annual Theodore Payne Native Plant Garden Tour
31 gardens show how to garden with native plants, attract wildlife and save water
Los Angeles and Southern California residents will have a chance to explore their growing interest in natives at 31 private and public gardens during the third annual Theodore Payne Native Plant Garden Tour on Saturday and Sunday, April 1 and 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gardens throughout the Los Angeles Basin will be featured, from Monrovia to Santa Monica, from Madrona Marsh in Torrance to Quail Hollow in Tujunga.
Tickets are $10 per person and can also be purchased by visiting www.theodorepayne.org or calling (818) 768-1802. Garden information, including plant lists and photos of gardens, can be found at the Theodore Payne website.
One of the key and unique features of the tour is that gardens will be hosted by garden owners and docents who share their passion and knowledge of gardening with natives with tour attendees. Most garden tours do not include the people who actually create and take care of the garden.
The gardens reflect a range of styles and ages. Some gardens on the tour follow a traditional or formal design, while others allow their natives to reach their wild potential. Some of the landscapes are mature and reflect years of experience in gardening with natives, while a few are developing gardens two or three years old. Garden owners and docents at each location will offer unique advice to gardeners of all skill levels and interests.
