Garden Tour

Service Description

Step into the gardens at DesertStrawHouse for a two-hour guided tour with Lisha Astorga. This immersive experience will introduce you to the art of desert gardening — from incorporating native plants and designing landscapes with year-round interest, to building pollinator gardens and creating wildlife habitats that truly come alive. Tour Highlights Native Plant Wonders See firsthand the beauty and resilience of desert natives, and learn how to choose and care for plants that thrive in our arid climate. Year-Round Allure The desert is never boring. Discover how to design a landscape that changes with the seasons, keeping color, texture, and interest all year long. Pollinator Paradises Walk through our pollinator gardens and learn how to attract and support bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds — the creatures that keep our gardens buzzing with life. Wildlife Habitats Find out how to make your garden more than just beautiful by creating a space that welcomes birds, insects, and other wildlife. Expert Guidance This is a conversation, not a lecture. Ask questions, share stories, and leave with practical tips you can bring to your own landscape. After the Tour Following the guided walk, enjoy refreshments in the nursery and browse our wide selection of native plants grown onsite. It’s the perfect time to choose plants that will help you create your own habitat garden at home. 2024–2025 Tour Schedule October 22 at 9:00 a.m. November 9 at 1:00 p.m. November 19 at 9:00 a.m. December 7 at 1:00 p.m. December 17 at 9:00 a.m. January 11 at 1:00 p.m. January 21 at 9:00 a.m. February 8 at 1:00 p.m. February 18 at 9:00 a.m. March 8 at 1:00 p.m. March 18 at 9:00 a.m. Details 🌿 Length: 2 hours + nursery shopping afterward 🌿 Cost: $20 per person 🌿 Groups: For groups of 8 or more, please contact us — we can arrange reduced rates and additional dates outside the posted schedule.
