This year's tour celebrates creative gardening.  Each garden has an individual style from a very personal collection of exotic evergreens, to a lavish estate garden.

Master Gardeners will be present at each garden to answer questions about plant identification, planting techniques, and garden problems.

Every garden will have extensive plant labeling to suggest new ideas for landscaping and planting in Madera County home gardens.

The gardens also demonstrate practical ideas for water features in the landscape and tour participants can learn about irrigation, drought-tolerance, and water conservation.
