This unique tour takes place every summer, bringing together long time residents and newcomers, green thumbs and novice gardeners. It features seven gardens across the Bear Valley and showcases everything from native plants to decorative stone, homeowner handy-work to professionally groomed yards. Meant to inspire and educate, the tour is great for homeowners, renters, weekend residents, visitors and business owners. Part social gathering, part home tour, and part gardening lesson, it teaches all who join about Xeriscaping, the value of native plants and the variety of beautiful landscaping options that require little to no water. The 2018 tour is presented by NativeScapes and hosted by the Sierra Club Big Bear Group. Approximately 500 tour participants each year receive goody bags and booklets with a map, photo, and description of each property where they meet, mingle, and get motivated.
