This summer we hosted tours for members of the native-plant organization Wild Ones. What it's like to open your garden to strangers, and why natives are just right for the suburban homesteader.
This sounds really fun, though daunting with that many people. For sure you have to show off those awards! We've only done random spur-of-the-moment tours of our gardens for curious neighbors, UPS delivery workers, the guy who delivered our car, door-to-door political candidates... you never know when a kindred spirit is going to stop by.
I love the idea of an impromptu tour, @ The Suburb Farm. One of our former St. Louis Audubon staff started a new program to list your garden on an app for scheduled public tours. We've been too busy for that level of tour-giving, but I wonder what you'd think of it, given your natural model? :)

What a great idea! I love it. All in for community building.
