Yards That Work Sustainable Yard Tour

Get Ready to Be Inspired!
Winnetka Yards Go Back to Nature

Go Green Winnetka is hosting its fourth Yards That Work Sustainable Yard Tour on Sunday, July 14 from 10 am – 2 pm. This is not just another pretty yard tour! The tour will feature six 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 Barrels & 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:

Six 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!
