Tour gardens (and help kids) during ‘Gardens of the Hills’
Enjoy beautiful (and fun-filled) gardens in full bloom while helping local children, families and seniors.
Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8, tour seven private gardens in El Dorado County during the 15th annual “Gardens of the Hills.”
A major fundraiser for Assistance League Sierra Foothills, this garden tour features a lot more than pretty flowers. Patrons also will find a lot of art – painters at work capturing the gardens’ beauty, artisan vendors offering their creations, and the Heartfelt & Handcrafted Boutique, featuring the work of chapter members.
In addition, the gardens will be filled with live music. Browse (and take home) free books from the chapter’s Second Bloom Library. Relax with a neck and shoulder massage. Take a chance at the tour’s Signature Raffle. Hungry? Fresh baked treats and other food will be offered for sale.
Children can have fun, too. (Try to spot Nutmeg the tour squirrel!) This garden tour has something for the whole family.
Tour hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Tickets are $40 for adults, $10 for children age 12 or younger. Participants will receive tour addresses after ticket purchase.
Proceeds support the chapter’s programs including Operation School Bell (which provides school clothes for needy children), scholarships to sports programs and colleges, reading tutorship and senior living enrichment.
