Know Before You Go

The Annual Native Plant Garden Tour is a beloved two-day, self-guided tour showcasing 42 stunning gardens across Greater Los Angeles, each highlighting the beauty and ecological benefits of native plants. 

🌿

Each ticket is for both Saturday and Sunday and includes a Guidebook containing admission stickers, a map, and addresses for all participating gardens.  



🎟️

Each attendee needs their own ticket & must be wearing an admission sticker for entry into gardens.  



 
🏡

The 2026 Tour includes 42 gardens total over the two days:
39 home gardens, one apartment complex, one school garden, and one private club. 
 



 
🗓️

Attendees may only visit gardens on their designated day. Please do not show up to these addresses on any other day.  



 
⏰

The gardens are open on their designated day from 10 AM to 5 PM. Please do not visit them outside of these hours.

Attendees choose which of the gardens to see each day:
The gardens are as evenly split as possible between Saturday & Sunday. We recommend visiting 4-8 gardens in a day.
