Sunday, June 1st, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Join us for the 12th annual Green Home and Garden Tour, which will feature a mixture of new green homes, green renovations, and watershed-friendly gardens.
- Tour local green homes and environmentally-friendly gardens.
- Talk with residents about their experiences greening their homes and making their yards more watershed-friendly.
- See homes featuring energy efficient technologies, solar elements, water saving technologies, native plants, rain gardens, rain barrels, wildlife habitats, and more.
- Pick up resources with ideas for your own yard and home.
The homes featured on the tour are certified with the Arlington County Green Home Choice program, which provides residents with assistance to make home renovation or construction projects as energy, water, and natural resource efficient as possible.
Many of the tour's garden and stormwater demonstration projects have participated in Arlington's StormwaterWise Landscapes program, which provides grants to homeowners to create native plant gardens and stormwater retention features that help our local waterways!
