Get Ready to Be Inspired!

Winnetka Yards Go Back to Nature

Go Green Winnetka is hosting its fifh Yards That Work Sustainable Yard Tour on Sunday, July 13 from 10 am – 2 pm. This is not just another pretty yard tour! The tour will feature four yards and is designed to spark the imagination and show the possibilities of sustainable living in your own backyard.

What to Expect:

• Beautiful Native Plants: See how local flora supports birds and pollinators.
• Fruit & Veggie Gardens: Discover the true meaning of farm-to-table with homegrown produce.
• Rain Chains & Bioswales: Learn clever ways to manage stormwater.
• Home Compost Systems: Turn kitchen scraps into garden gold!

Tour hosts will share their experiences and wisdom, showing off what works for them and hopefully inspiring others with ideas to make their own yards a sustainable paradise. From new projects just starting out to a three-acre Backyard Flower Lab, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Tour Details:

• Four Yards: Find out how different homeowners approach sustainable gardening.
• Free & Self-Guided: Explore at your own pace.
• Rain or Shine: We're on, no matter the weather!

Pre-registration requested.  Addresses and a map will be available the day before the event.

Let’s make our world more sustainable, one yard at a time!
