Thank you, Garden Walkers!!

What a beautiful day in the gardens and at the farm on June 10! It was wonderful to greet you all. We hope you gained some ideas and inspirations for your own green space, and enjoyed talking with the garden owners and other Walkers.

Your participation in this community event gives back to the community, with all proceeds directed to Farm & Garden's annual grant and scholarship awards. We'll announce the financial results soon.

Many thanks to our generous sponsors, our event volunteers, and most importantly, our garden and farm owners for opening their spaces to the public. We couldn't do it without you!

Let's do it again next year! Join us Saturday, June 14, 2025 for another day in unique and lovely gardens.
