Registration Form for the 2010 Self-Guided Tour
Important Registration Information (Please read carefully)
- A garden guidebook will be mailed to all registrants in mid-April. There are twenty tickets in the back of each guidebook. Each adult (age 16 and older) must provide a ticket at the entry table before entering a garden. There are more than enough tickets for a party of two, and most people see 4 to 6 gardens.
- If you are planning to bring a second person, please indicate on the form below. No more than 2 people can register on a single registration form. If your party is larger than two, additional registration forms must be completed with a different email and mailing address. Only one garden guide will be mailed per address.
- The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour has been free to all participants since its inception in 2005. However, given decreasing public agency support in this era of budget cutting, we find it necessary to turn to you, our participants and supporters, to help us keep the tour going and to help keep it free to those who cannot afford to pay. During registration, please take advantage of the opportunity to donate to the garden tour.
- The tour starts at the garden of your choice at 10 am. Visit as many gardens as you like before 5 pm. Do not arrive before 10 am or after 5 pm. We recommend selecting the gardens you would like to visit by reviewing the garden descriptions and talks before setting out for the day. You can plan your route using mapquest.com or maps.google.com.
- Please follow standard parking etiquette—do not block driveways or double park. Watch for special parking instructions at select gardens.
- Children must be closely supervised by an accompanying adult. Strollers are not permitted in the gardens.
- Stay on marked paths and wear sturdy shoes.
- Do not pick flowers, fruits or vegetables, or take cuttings.
- Restroom facilities are available at the four native plant nurseries. No restroom facilities are available at the home gardens.
- Smoking is not permitted.
- Leave pets at home.
