What if it rains?
The Tour takes place rain or shine. Bring your umbrella if it’s blustery.
Is parking available at all the gardens?
This is a driving tour – carpooling is strongly encouraged. Parking is on the street; expect about a block’s walk to each garden.
Will I be able to use a wheelchair or baby stroller?
Regrettably, because the gardens are all private properties, they are not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
Can I take pictures of the gardens?
Yes, provided that the photographs are for your personal use only and not for any commercial purpose.
Can I bring my dog on a leash?
We love dogs, but we are sorry to say that pets are not invited into these private gardens.
What if I use a walker? You probably should not try to take the tour, which will include some rough ground.

Will you show the same gardens next year?
Heavens, no. We may not have a tour in 2013, however, so don't miss this year's.
Can my garden be considered for next year's tour? Or can I recommend a friend’s garden?
Yes! We are always looking for beautiful gardens. There is a sign-up sheet in each garden where you can list your information.
Do I have to be a registered Republican to attend? No! In fact not every one of our hosts are Republicans.
