Thank You!

May 22, 2025

Yes, It takes a village to organize the Noe Valley Garden Tour!

We would like to start by thanking the gracious garden hosts who volunteered to open their gardens for the Tour. Without them, no Tour!

THANK YOU to Dale and Patty Fehringer, Stefani Wolff, Barbara Howald, Sheila Ash,  Barbara Byrnes, Richard Anderson, Richard Cutler, Taylor and Lea Wallick, Alice and Bill Shapiro, Kailei Gallup and Gina Cockburn.

At each garden on the Tour we depend on Garden Greeters to welcome visitors, sell raffle tickets and keep track of what’s going on. So here is a big shout out to our wonderful, lovely, dependable Garden Greeters Susan Olney, Anne Douglas, Pamela Boucher, Marianne Hampton, Gail MacCallum, Marilyn Schaumburg, Elizabeth Malick, Ann Wellington, Howard Fallon, Belinda Fang, Sharon McConnel, Suzi Quatman, Gerta Hurder, Debra Nieman, Michelle Cobble, Jan Proudfoot, Keri Scholte, Linda Lavelle, Richard Mullen, Evangeline Nason, Joseph Padilla, Beth Mooney, Kaz Levenberg, Simon Gilinsky, Kurt Boden, Gary Roudebush, Kat Hall, Cheryl Gay, Ni Ludivine and Clarissa Lam. 

In order to have a Garden Tour we need a little help from our friends!  How could we do this without the generosity of our fabulous sponsors.
