Click here to open a printable map. Click here to view an interactive MAP of all the gardens in the 2018 Mar Vista Green Garden Showcase and plan you own tour. We will have some print copies of the map at Showcase Central but are relying on visitors to use their electronic devices to plan their tour. We are trying to cut down on the paper we use for the tour. Hope all will agree that is a worthy goal for a sustainable garden tour.

This year's SHOWCASE CENTRAL is at The Learning Garden at the corner of Venice Boulevard and Walgrove (enter on Walgrove). Great place to kick off your tour and see an amazing array of plants and sustainable practices under the guidance of Garden Master David King. And be sure to meet Joy Sun of the Seed Library of Los Angeles. The Mar Vista Green Garden Showcase is a bespoke, DIY tour, therefore we don't have a huge number of volunteers. So download your map and plan your garden tour beforehand. But be sure to visit the Learning Garden at some point, it's an incredible place and a real treasure for our community.
