The Desert Horticultural Society’s 18th Annual Spring Garden Tour—one of the most anticipated events of the season—is coming up March 14, 2026, and we’re searching for this year’s featured gardens!
We’re asking our partners and community organizations to help spread the word by sharing our Garden Tour Nomination Form with your email list or newsletter: https://forms.gle/Hrd2WykgDayG9kpcA
Each year, the tour showcases gardens that tell the story of life in the desert—beautiful, water-efficient spaces that inspire sustainable living and celebrate the plants that thrive here. The tour has traditionally been held in Palm Springs, but we’re now working to build a valley-wide database of gardens to help us rotate the tour through different communities each year.
For the 2026 tour, we’ll be selecting five to six gardens within close driving distance of one another, so every nomination helps shape where the tour will take place. Gardens can be large or small, residential, commercial, or public spaces—what matters most is how they embody the creativity, resilience, and heart of desert gardening.
Thank you so much for helping us celebrate and share the beauty of our desert landscapes with the wider community.
