Tom & Cheri Stewart have created an ever-expanding, backyard native garden paradise that's both beautiful and ecologically significant. In 2022, the Stewart's Hilltop Garden was awarded Sioux City's Yard-of-the-Year.
Located at 2801 S. Cecelia Street, Sioux City.
Come walk the gardens and enjoy the pollinators who are also visiting!
Then relax on a garden bench while enjoying some refreshments.
Or shop the native plant sale at the Hilltop Garden and pick up a few natives for your own yard. Proceeds from the plant sale go towards funding native plant gardens and educational programs in the Siouxland region.
Both garden walks are open yard style. Stop in to look around, and come and go as you please.
The Loess Hills chapter of Wild Ones is a non-profit organization that promotes planting native landscapes, both small and large, in Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Native plants attract pollinators and other wildlife, enhancing your home and the environment.
