a target of 50% or more by species or area is desired.\u00a0 However, there are special circumstances that make some gardens appealing even if there are fewer natives such as low water use, adjacency to public lands or preserves, habitat gardens, or gardens of\u00a0 unique interest (for example one that solves a difficult problem or has an interesting design approach).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \ud83c\udf3f Garden Tour Details \ud83d\udcc5 Sunday, March 29 \ud83d\udd59 Self-guided tour: 10:00 AM \u2013 4:00 P Visit gardens in any order, at your own pace in communities of Redondo [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":2259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[64,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event_sccnps","category-garden-tour"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>March 29, 2026 - Garden Tour 10A - 6P - South Coast Chapter - CNPS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/chapters.cnps.org\/southcoast\/2026\/03\/25\/march-29-2026-garden-tour-10a-6p\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"March 29, 2026 - Garden Tour 10A - 6P - South Coast Chapter - CNPS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \ud83c\udf3f Garden Tour Details \ud83d\udcc5 Sunday, March 29 \ud83d\udd59 Self-guided tour: 10:00 AM \u2013 4:00 P Visit gardens in any order, at your own pace in communities of Redondo [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/chapters.cnps.org\/southcoast\/2026\/03\/25\/march-29-2026-garden-tour-10a-6p\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"South Coast Chapter - CNPS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-26T00:40:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-21T04:14:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/chapters.cnps.org\/southcoast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/06\/garden-chairs-morgan-crop800x533.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"533\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brent\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Brent\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chapters.cnps.org\\\/southcoast\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/25\\\/march-29-2026-garden-tour-10a-6p\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chapters.cnps.org\\\/southcoast\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/25\\\/march-29-2026-garden-tour-10a-6p\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Brent\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chapters.cnps.org\\\/southcoast\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/7728a035d5291dec8e0799a84978a784\"},\"headline\":\"March 29, 2026 &#8211;
