The Desert Wise Landscape tour is happening on Sunday (April 27) throughout the hi-desert. Organized by the Morongo Basin Conservation Association, the event brings locals and visitors on a tour of homes that utilize native plants in their landscaping.
MBCA representatives were the guests on last week’s Z107.7 Up Close Show, and host Gary Daigneault asked them about the annual event. MBCA Vice President Stacy Doolittle explained the purpose of the tour.
“The Landscape Tour is in nine days. It’s going to be on April 27th, and it starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. We have seven sites in total and five new residential sites. And I like to say that the landscape design goes from maximalist to minimalist.
And most of them are DIY. The designer sites tend to be more minimalist, and the sites with a lot of stuff like maximalist sites. And one of the things we want people to know is how they can be successful in their landscapes using native and drought-tolerant plants.”
The self-guided tour runs all day Sunday with timed events at locations like Coyote Hole, the Panorama House, and the Mojave Land Trust. Tickets are $35 per person and include an annual membership into the MBCA.
