Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Garden Tour and helped make the day so special. We are deeply grateful to all who spent the day exploring the beautiful gardens, supporting the arts, and celebrating community with us.

A special thank you to those who joined us for the VIP Tea Party experience. It was a joy to share such a lovely and relaxing space together in Mary Startzman’s garden.

We also want to extend heartfelt appreciation to each of our participating gardeners for generously opening your spaces and sharing your hard work, creativity, and care with the community. Your gardens made this event truly memorable.

Thank you as well to our wonderful garden greeters and volunteers who helped welcome guests throughout the day and kept everything running smoothly.

And finally, thank you to our sponsor, The Potting Shed, for supporting this longstanding fundraiser and helping us continue creating vibrant arts programming for our community through the Berea Arts Council.
