Residential Garden Tour (Columbia 21045)

This mostly sunny garden, with pockets of dappled shade, has been thoughtfully transitioning into a native-focused landscape over the past three years. Designed to support biodiversity, it is proudly certified by Bee City and Bay-Wise programs, reflecting a commitment to pollinator health and sustainable practices.

The garden is rich in edible plantings, featuring eight raised vegetable beds connected by arches that create both structure and beauty. A diverse mix of native species provides habitat and food for wildlife, including pawpaw trees, blueberry bushes, hazelnuts, persimmons, and serviceberries. Complementing these are select non-native fruiting plants—apple, peach, blackberry, and raspberry—blending productivity with ecological value.

Together, these elements create a vibrant, productive space that supports pollinators, wildlife, and people alike.

Wild Ones Greater Baltimore 2026 garden tours are generously offered by local residents. While the focus of the tour will be on native plants, all of the gardens will include some non-natives and many will have invasives or other issues the owners are battling. Expect these tours to be an opportunity to enjoy beautiful gardens while learning about the joys and challenges of starting and maintaining a biodiverse ecosystem.

This is a guided tour starting at 10am and lasting about 2 hours.
