Native plants are perennials, which mean they come back year after year.  They have long root systems, requiring less watering, and they are adapted to the Illinois climate.  Come see how you can incorporate these in your own yard!

All of these gardens are certified by the Conservation@Home program. This program recognizes and certifies properties that demonstrate environmentally sound landscape practices.

If your yard is already certified, or you applied and want to feature your yard in our walk, contact us at info@gogreendesplaines.org!

This event is FREE! Registration is optional, however if you RSVP with your email, we will send you a map of all the gardens on our walk with addresses. Join us and meet new neighbors and exchange ideas about your gardening experiences!
