Going Native Garden Tour 2021

Organized by the California Native Plant Society (Santa Clara Valley Chapter)
in association with UCCE Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County.

Due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 tour will be held in the virtual format, similar to how it was done in 2020.

The launch of the tour is scheduled for Saturday, April 17.

The above button registers you for both in-person and virtual tours.

Registration for the in-person tour will close on Sun, Apr 11, 2021, 3:00 pm.
Note: there will be no e-mail help available on the tour day.

Since 2003, Going Native Garden Tour offered in-person garden visits each spring. Starting in 2020, virtual garden tours are also offered online throughout the year.

Tour volunteers can visit tour gardens throughout the year through a series of Garden Preview events and receive a custom GNGT T-shirt with artwork that changes yearly. Tour volunteers work one 3-hour shift on tour day at one of the gardens either as a docent or as a greeter.

If you live in Santa Clara County or San Mateo County, and California native plants are 70% or more of your garden, we invite you to submit your garden for inclusion in the Going Native Garden Tour 2022. The submission deadline is Sun, Oct 31, 2021, 11:59 pm. See also the How do I submit my garden to be included in the Tour? page.
