Reynolda Gardens is using their Community Grant funds to beautify the area around their newly renovated greenhouse. They’ve been putting in perennials, bulbs, and ground cover that will give them color almost year round. We can’t wait to see these plants bloom and grow!

What a wonderful weekend it was for the garden tour! We can’t stop smiling as we think back on these beautiful gardens and how much enjoyment the day brought to so many.

We are so grateful for our garden owners, sponsors, volunteers and over 700 tour-goers! It turned out to be a lovely day in so many ways.

Thanks especially to Elizabeth Barton and Mimi Bennett for chairing the garden tour and taking it to the next level!

We’re already looking forward to our next tour - Spring 2026.
