Program Description: Cincinnati Nature Center continues to expand its native plant programming so that our community can grow in support of healthy biodiversity.  2026 will be our eighth year offering private garden tours across our region, in an effort to shine a light on how native plants can create glorious residential landscapes.  We are thankful for our featured gardeners each year, whose creations range from woodland restorations to gardens that have been lovingly tended for multiple decades. All proceeds from the Garden Tour support Cincinnati Nature Center's mission of Inspiring Conservation.

What to Expect: Guests receive a Garden Tour program booklet to help plan their self-guided tour.  The Garden Tour booklet grants you entrance into all gardens between 9 am and 5 pm.  All guests on the Tour must show their own booklet to gain access to each garden.

Guests purchasing after this date will have the option to stop by Cincinnati Nature Center at the Rowe Woods location (4949 Tealtown Rd., Milford, OH 45150) to pick up their booklet before the tour or pick up their booklet at Garden #1 the day of the tour.
