The 20th Annual Noe Valley Garden Tour is just around the corner and for 2026 we’re putting the spotlight on Slow Sanchez Street and the surrounding blocks. This annual, community building event showcases gardens throughout the neighborhood and raises funds for Noe Valley beautification projects. The 2026 Tour will be held on Saturday, May 16th from 10am to 4pm.

The Friends of Noe Valley is actively seeking  gardens along all parts of Sanchez Street and the surrounding blocks. We are looking for 8-10 gardens. Gardens can be homeowner or professionally maintained. If you, or someone you know, has a cozy backyard, a blooming front stoop, a brand new or a well established garden, a kid and/or dog friendly spot – we’d be happy to have you to be part of the Tour! Any type of garden is acceptable!

Garden submissions are open now for the May 2026 tour. Let’s show off the beauty growing right here around our favorite Slow Street!

If you have a garden and would like to schedule a garden visit please send an email ASAP to: lindalockyer3@gmail.com
