Events

Let's tour some members’ gardens! Come explore, get inspired, and exchange ideas about our shared passion, landscaping with native plants.

We will gather at Indian Creek Nature Center at the Butterfly Hoop House, a volunteer-maintained haven for native plants and pollinators. From there, we will announce an itinerary of four chapter members’ home gardens in Cedar Rapids.

The theme of the tour is “Sleep, Creep, Leap”. In their first year, native perennials can appear to “sleep” as they focus on root development. In year two, plants “creep” with slow and steady growth. Starting in year three, plants “leap” to life with rapid growth and bold blooms. The tour will progress through all three stages from newly established to increasingly mature gardens, all shared “as is” with minimal preparation.

(Note: This event is members-only, however a limited number of spots are available to non-members at $10 per person. Better yet, become a member!)
