SUMMARY:Spring Native Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Visit native plant landscapes to expand your knowledge of native species and get design ideas you can use in your own garden! \nOn the first two weekends in May\, Pinellas County native plant enthusiasts will open their gardens to interested community members who are seeking education and inspiration. Most gardens were professionally designed\, but others were the creations of the homeowners. \nLearn about native plants that may be happy in your garden and see how they perform once established. Talk to the homeowners and designers to learn what they love about their gardens\, what wildlife they support\, and what challenges homeowners have faced – and overcome – in converting their more traditional landscapes to native habitat. \nThe tour will take place over two weekends. Please register for each day separately. \n\nSaturday\, May 4th\, 2024: Homes SOUTH of Ulmerton Road\nSaturday\, May 11th\, 2024: Homes NORTH of Ulmerton Road\n\nThere will be about six gardens available to view each day. You may visit them in any order. The list of tour locations\, with supporting information on each\, will be emailed to you approximately one week before the tour. \nRegistration is limited\, so sign up today! \nParticipation in the tour is free\, but the Pinellas Chapter is requesting tourgoers to make a voluntary donation ($10 suggested) to the West Klosterman Preserve Group. Donations will be used to purchase scrub/sandhill property adjacent to Mariner’s Point Preserve at the western end of Klosterman Road near Tarpon Springs.
