See hidden garden gems of Tahoe Park

“Experience the wonder of nature in Tahoe Park!” say the hosts. The tour is not just a neighborhood stroll, but “a day of green thumbs, vibrant blooms, and community spirit!”

“The Tahoe Park Garden Tour … provides an opportunity to bring neighbors together to share in the beauty of gardens,” say the organizers. “From drought-tolerant gardens to unique backyards, each garden provides inspiration and reflection.”

UC master gardeners will be stationed in the gardens to answer questions. The organizers also will host a plant sale with plenty of flowers as well as veggies.

“This isn’t just any garden tour; it’s a journey into the heart of our community’s passion for gardening and nature,” add the hosts. “And here’s the best part – all proceeds from the event will benefit our very own Tahoe Elementary School!”

Tickets ($10) can be purchased online or in person. Youths under age 18 are admitted free.

Tour organizers encourage patrons to bring children. “Parents and guardians, this is a wonderful opportunity for your kids to connect with nature, learn about the environment, and spend a day filled with fun and education outside of the classroom,” they say. “Let’s inspire our youth to grow their love for gardening and the great outdoors.”

For those who purchase online tickets, you can pickup your program and map of all gardens at the Garden Headquarters, 5959 Eighth Ave., Sacramento, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday. That’s also where tickets will be sold the day of the event. Then tour participants may wander the gardens in any order.
