Description:
Sustainable Blacksburg presents their July Sustainable Garden Tour on Sunday, July 16, 2023 at two Blacksburg, VA locations.

Garden Locations:
• Monti / McLellan Garden at 1090 South Jefferson Forest Lane, Blacksburg
• Keciorius Garden at 1306 Greendale Drive, Blacksburg

The Sustainable Blacksburg nonprofit community organization is sponsoring free self-guided tours of local gardens showcasing sustainable gardening and landscaping practices, including reduced lawn area, native plants, wildlife-friendly plantings, food production and upcycled garden décor.

• Monti / McLellan Garden (1090 S. Jefferson Forest Lane):
In just 5 years, the homeowners have created an incredible certified habitat for birds, bees and butterflies. A ¼ acre meadow sports a succession of blooming species to feed native pollinators throughout the season and the property owners have also planted over 25 native trees as well as shrubs and perennials.

• Keciorius Garden (1306 Greendale Drive):
In this fairly new garden, the homeowners grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers, striving to be pollinator friendly and avoiding chemicals. Rain barrels and drip irrigation conserve water. If you missed the chance to see this garden on the library's New River Valley Garden Tour, you have another opportunity!

Admission is free.

The Sustainable Garden Tour is back for 2023 and we have a great schedule of gardens for you to visit. The free tours will be held on the third Sunday afternoon of the month starting in May until August (May 21, June 18, July 16, and August 20). All tours will last from 2:00-5:00 PM and visitors can drop in anytime during the tour timeframe. The tours are self-guided, but the hosts are present to answer questions.

Light refreshments will be served.

The tours are rain or shine, but will be halted by thunderstorms.
