News and Updates

The 13th Annual Southland Community Garden Walk will be held on Sunday, July 13, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm.  The committee presents a diverse number of gardens: large, small, formal, informal.  There are gardens with water features, hardscaping, or outdoor kitchens.  Some gardeners delight in growing vegetables and fruit, while others only plant perennials.  You will find gardeners that plant mostly annual flowers that guarantee a full summer of riotous blooms.  Many of the gardens we feature have been designed, installed, and maintained by the home owner, while others have the touch of a professional.  The things that all of our gardens have in common are that the gardens, and the communities they are in are loved by their owners!  The owners take enormous pride in the beauty that they have created, and they are delighted to share the fruits of their labor with you!

Proceeds from the Garden Walk benefit Aunt Martha's Health and Wellness and Respond Now.

The day offers you an opportunity to stroll through lovely outdoor spaces with friends and family, ask questions of our available master gardeners, stop for a delicious lunch at one of our sponsoring restaurants, while supporting two of our communities important agencies.  What an incredible experience!!!
