Garden Tour & Native Plant Sale

Our first collective act as GROW was to organize a tour in March 2025 showcasing local gardens that are filled with native plants for wildlife. We followed that up with a second garden tour in November. We believe it is vital to educate neighbors about the importance of such landscapes and the myriad benefits to the ecosystem.

Wrapping up the tours with native plant sales also enabled participants to put into practice some of what they had learned by taking home plants they had seen on the tour and putting them in their own gardens.

Garden Fairy Sprinkles

We harvest pollinator seeds from our local library and surrounding gardens that are adapted to surviving in swales and others that prefer planting beds. We took those seeds to a street fair, along with pulp from recycled paper, and created garden fairy sprinkles – our version of ‘seed bombs’ – to give out to passersby, educating them about the importance of those plants.

  • My traditional SFL garden of orchids, palms, bromeliads, cycads and aroids has been transformed over the years to highlight native plants that benefit butterflies, birds and bees, thanks to the inspiration of Bound by Beauty. I've always valued conservation, as seen in our national parks, but didn't realize how important and joyful it is to be part of this same conservation in my own yard.

  • Bound by Beauty helped us shift our perspective on our garden as a habitat & ecosystem. Since we do not use chemicals we often get what some people consider to be “weeds” like Bidens Alba and “pests” like aphids. BbB taught us that native plants like Bidens alba feed butterfly caterpillars and pollinators and that aphids when left alone invite in native predators like hoverflies and ladybugs, and the more biodiversity the better. Our planet is at such risk and every green space can be part of the solution. Thanks BbB for all you do!

  • I started planting native plants 23 year ago but I had never planted many flowers to attract pollinators until I learned from Bound by Beauty. Now I have many types of pollinators to add to my many native shrubs and trees. I also didn't know about the Atala butterfly and since I had many coonties I was able to establish them in my garden. Now I have many butterflies of different types, bees and many birds enjoying my wonderful garden.

  • Throughout the pandemic one of the things kept me sane-and even joyful- has been my garden. And I have Bound by Beauty to thank for that! Prior to discovering the wonders of native gardening and nurturing butterflies, my yard was a place to do battle with weeds and a struggle just to keep the lawn alive. Now I renew myself among the beautiful creatures that lay their eggs and grow into gorgeous butterflies, all nurtured by the plants that nature intended to be here in the first place! And the wonderful people I’ve met that are now friends has been an added bonus! Thank you BbB for bringing us together and helping to beautify the world around us.

  • Bound by Beauty radically transformed my idea of what is possible in a suburban neighborhood. Creating a wildlife sanctuary and immersing myself in nature as a lifestyle has been my daily tonic. I pinch myself every day. I live in a tropical paradise teaming with butterflies, birds and a kaleidoscope of flowers.
    Jill L.
  • I love nature and Bound by Beauty inspires me to learn more, grow more native plants, and help our pollinators thrive. My garden is a wildlife sanctuary and I have Bound by Beauty to thank for it. It is a win/win for nature and me. Every day my garden brings me joy.

  • What a wonderful wonderful inspiration!

    To opening minds and worlds to the beauty of nature and to teach us all to be better stewards of this extraordinary planet.

    A few humble words of thanks seems so inadequate.
