2025 Open Gardens Weekend: Diverse Gardens Await!

Here’s another property you've got to check out on Open Gardens Weekend 2024. Pick up a map from one of our sponsors, the City of Coralville; Fiddlehead Gardens; Forever Green, Inc.; Hills Bank and Trust; HyVee; Iowa City Landscaping; Lenoch & Cilek Ace Hardware; Rindy, Inc.; and Sanders Creek Co., and make your plan to tour the gardens.

You won't want to miss the no-mow approach with an all-perennial beautiful street-facing garden. Cleo Hardin and Lilli Meggitt, 1202 Sunset St., Iowa City, created a pollinator-friendly garden using native prairie grasses and perennials that attractively frame their property lines. The front-featured garden is a beautiful entrance to the property. Viewing this low-maintenance setting will change how homeowners think about their turf grass. This garden landscape features a meditation space and prairie plantings.
