Mark your calendars for this year’s Noe Valley Garden Tour, which is on Saturday, May 17th.
Featured gardens will showcase a variety of styles. You may visit a mature, lush oasis at a wonderful B & B, a front terraced garden with roses, bamboo, ferns, and Japanese Maples, a serene Zen space for meditation, an intimate backyard sanctuary with multitudes of flowering plants, and several more stunners! Several gardens will be showing local artists’ works and there will be live music in select gardens. And again this year is a plant-swap at the Noe Café on Sanchez from 10am -1pm. Bring a cutting or plant to swap with something new!
The tour will be held on Saturday, May 17th from 10am to 4pm with 10 gardens bursting with greenery and color. Ticket prices remain unchanged at $20 for adults and $18 for seniors 62+. Children under 12 are free. Tickets are being sold at:
