The TPNA has hosted several garden tours over the years as a way for neighbors to share their knowledge and enjoyment of gardening.
From lily pads to rooftops, the 2024 Garden Tour on Sunday April 28 was a great success. Thank you to the 12 gardeners who opened up their beautiful gardens, to the the 11 local businesses who sponsored the event, the 68 volunteers who took shifts as docents and ticket sellers, the 450+ friends and neighbors who bought tickets, and to whomever ordered the perfect weather and sunshine!
Proceeds will benefit the Trinity Park Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that maintains and improves our neighborhood infrastructure, such as The Trinity Park, and new pollinator garden planned by the Farm Church.
