In 2022, Sustainable Blacksburg started a Sustainable Garden Tour to showcase sustainable gardening and landscaping practices. See highlights from the 2022 and 2023 tours here. We would like to hold tours in the future, but need more hosts willing to let us visit their gardens on third Sunday afternoons from May-August.
If you are interested in being a garden tour host in 2026, please fill out the form below and email it to us at sustainableblacksburgva@gmail.com.
When considering gardens to feature, we seek gardens that showcase practices from the list of sustainable gardening and landscaping practices we compiled during our 21 Actions for 2021 Campaign. You can find that list of practices here:
