Big gardens, little gardens, vegetables, fruits, or flowers — show us how your garden grows! As the first in a series of organized ‘cheer up the neighborhood’ activities that will unfold over the next several weeks, we are inviting all neighborhood residents with anything resembling a green thumb to participate in our Little High Garden Day. We are looking for neighbors who are growing things to open up their yards from 3-5pm on Saturday, May 16.
Garden Day is a chance to show off your horticultural prowess and maybe even offer some tips to those of us who would like to start a garden. More importantly, this will give us all a chance to get out and walk around our lovely neighborhood, enjoy the fresh air, and see and talk to each other — and this can all be done while maintaining a safe social distance.
We strongly encourage people who want to participate to wear masks and to maintain at least a 6 foot distance from anyone not in your household.
We ask that those who are interested in opening up their gardens to the tour let us know by the end of the day on Thursday, May 14. We will use balloons and, if necessary, signage to indicate which houses are participating in Garden Day. A map of participating houses will also be sent out via email on Friday, May 15.
Neighborhood children interested in participating are invited to serve as tour guides through the garden paths (with the consent of the resident gardener, of course).
Please contact Rosamond Casey at rctreehouse22@gmail.com if you are interested in opening up your garden to the neighborhood and / or if you have children who would like to participate!
