Join us in supporting Mountains Restoration Trust and Theodore Payne Foundation for a timely and innovative, self-guided garden tour. You’ll learn how native plant landscaping can help protect properties in high-risk fire areas by touring gardens that demonstrate best-practices.

The tour features an expansive mountainside garden designed, installed and maintained by FormLA Landscaping. There are two additional gardens, each with at least 50 percent California natives.
