Experience two FormLA’s distinctive, sustainable gardens on this two-day self-guided tour of LA County’s most lovely native gardens!

The Rosen residence has been featured on several Theodore Payne Foundation Native Garden Tours in its 10-year history.  A perenial favorite, the garden features a salt water, copper ionized spa overlooking a canyon, a wide variety of native foliage, an edible garden, and charming reclaimed artwork.

The Weiss residence is equally compelling.  For those curious about IdealMow lawn alternatives, it is a must-visit.  Lush, feathery yarrow fills its parkway.  A yarrow meadow surrounded by fragrant and colorful natives says “welcome home!” and adds further curb appeal.  The backyard’s IdealMow lawn of bright green UC Verde surrounds fruitful lemon trees and raised edible gardens.
