LLL Open Gardens Days
June 14 & 21
More and more homeowners are embracing landscaping that emphasizes native plants and organic methods to create more wildlife- and people-friendly yards. Are you curious to see what other gardeners have done? Stop by any of multiple locations to see the many forms a pollinator garden can take or learn what alternatives to the traditional lawn fellow residents have tried.
The homeowners involved are generously opening their yards to visitors in the hopes that you’ll see something that will help or inspire you in your own landscaping, and to learn from you as well. Six different gardeners are participating each week, and each property will be open to visitors either from 10 am–1 pm or 1-3 pm that day. Visit as many or as few as you wish. No ticket or pre-registration is needed.
Hard rain cancels. If in doubt, check our website home page after 7 am that day.
A detailed schedule and map of participating properties for June 14 is available for viewing and download here, and for June 21 here.
