Garden Addresses

About ten days before the in-person Tour three PDFs will be e-mailed to registrants. One will contain addresses and a map that shows the relative locations of the Bayside gardens; another will contain addresses and a map showing the relative locations of the Inland gardens.

The third is a “tickets” page. Tour goers will need to print out the “tickets” page (print multiple copies if you will need more than 20 tickets) and bring the tickets page(s) with them on the day of the Tour. Each person must submit a paper ticket in order to enter a garden. Don’t have a printer? Just make your own “Admit one” tickets. (Yes; really. It’s the only solution we could come up with.)

A Free Tour—that needs your support!

The Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour has been free 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. Please take advantage of the opportunity to donate to the garden tour. The suggested contribution is $15 per person.

Schedule

The tour starts at the garden of your choice at 10:00 am. Visit as many gardens as you like before 5:00 pm. Do not arrive before 10:00 am or stay after 5:00 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 by referring to the maps that will show the relative locations of the gardens, then using an on-line mapping program for directions.
