Come tour Upik’s fabulous garden, especially if you missed it on our Native Plant Tour this past June.  Also if you’re a native plant person looking for a new home Upik and her husband will be moving out of the area at the end of the year and we would all love to see someone purchase their home  and garden to continue the native plant journey that Upik started ❤️ This is a members only + member’s guests tour. We will be emailing an invite to members 2weeks before the tour.
