Note: If you would like to share your desert garden on a future Pop-Up Tour, please fill out the
"Pop-Up" Tour Application
The Garden Tour Committee has decided to vary the format of our annual tour and plan a year of “Pop-Up Tours”. These will be individual garden tours on scheduled Saturdays throughout the year per the owners choice. Normally there will be only one garden on the tour but possibly two if they are in close proximity. Members who would like to share their desert landscapes with other members can let us know and we will arrange, and make announcements for, a tour just at your home. You can choose any Saturday during the year that isn’t taken to showcase your garden at its best.
Please just give us at least six weeks’ notice so that we can get the word out in our monthly newsletter. On the day of your “Pop-Up Tour” please plan to have your desert garden available for Members and their Guests Only to tour from 10am to 2pm.
For more information or to reserve a date for your “Pop-Up” please fill out the Application Form. For questions or more information, please contact our committee at GardenTours@TucsonCactus.org.
