Arlington Green Home and Garden Tour - June 5th

Sunday, June 5, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Featuring a variety of the best green homes and environmentally-friendly gardens in Arlington! The tour will include Arlington homes with green renovations, green roofs, solar panels, rain barrels, wildlife habitats, rain gardnes and more. A $5 per person donation is suggested to support ACE's conservation programs, payable online or at the first place you visit. The self-guided tour booklet is available at www.arlingtonenvironment.org/gardentour.htm

This year there is a new spin on the tour with a guided cycling option coordinated by several other local green organizations! The cycle tour costs a minimum $25 donation per rider with all proceeds benefiting Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment and Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia. Riders will meet at the Arlington Oaks Condominium, one of the stops on the tour itself, for registration, check-in, and viewing of the first green garden stops. There will be two comprehensive routes to choose from – each include green homes, green gardens, and homes for sale that are conducive to commuting to work by bike. Riders can register in advance online.
