In its 18th year, this annual, community building event showcases gardens throughout the neighborhood and raises funds for Noe Valley beautification projects. The Tour will be held on Saturday, May 18th from 10am to 4pm.

In past years, profits from the tour have been donated to purchase planters in the Noe Valley Town Square, benches along 24th and Church Streets, planters and plants for Slow Sanchez, school yard gardens at James Lick Middle School and Dolores Huerta School, the On Lok 30th Street Senior Center, Upper Noe Recreation Center, the Noe Valley/Sally Brunn Library and street trees around the neighborhood.

The Friends of Noe Valley is actively seeking neighborhood gardens for this year’s Tour. Any kind of garden is acceptable! Gardens can be homeowner or professionally maintained.

There is also a need for Garden Greeters. Garden Greeters are stationed for a two hour shift at one of the gardens and will be given a FREE ticket.

If you have a garden and would like to schedule a garden visit OR if you would like to be a Garden Greeter please send an email ASAP to: [email protected]
