The Second Drought-Tolerant Garden Tour will showcase gardens in the following Greater Wilshire neighborhoods: Brookside, Fremont Place, Sycamore Square, and Wilshire Park. Although the tour will focus on neighborhoods on the south side of the Greater Wilshire area, the tour will also feature a magnificent Hancock Park garden recently featured in the LA Times. Another tour highlight will be the front and rear garden of a Fremont Place home recently featured in the 2018 The Garden Conservancy “Los Angeles Open Day” tour. All gardens were nominated by Greater Wilshire residents. The review and selection of garden nominations was made by GWNC Sustainability Committee members.
At the Garden Tour’s meeting point, Rain Barrels International will be distributing rain barrels for sale, which are eligible for City of Los Angeles Rain Barrel Rebates. They will also be offering information on rain barrel care and maintenance from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. LA High Memorial Library will feature an exhibit on garden books to compliment the tour.
