When it comes to understanding how to use native plants in the landscape, a picture is worth a thousand words—but an actual garden built around native plants is priceless!

As people become aware of the urgency of increasing biodiversity, we want people to see that, to include native plants in their landscapes, they need not sacrifice beauty, neatness, or relations with the neighbors. That’s what INPS garden tours are all about.

Tours are organized by our regional chapter leaders. A concept that has worked well for Central Chapter is the Pop-Up Garden Tour, an impromptu open house announced when a particular member’s garden is at its best. Members and guests are invited to drop in and share the visual bounty.

Unless otherwise noted, INPS garden tours are free and open to members and their guests.
