Our GWCA 38th Annual Garden Walk will be Sunday, August 2nd from 4-7:30 pm. The registration deadline to be on the map is July 23rd. This year we will only show front yards to limit social gathering. Our theme is “MASKquerade” as visitors and gardeners need to wear masks AND social distance if near others.
For the Garden Walk, we’re adding photos and garden descriptions to a virtual map. Please submit your photos or videos using this form https://forms.gle/mcavNzCYFSBmoXNY6. They can even be of you demonstrating a gardening technique. If you don’t have a google account you can also send photos or videos via email to Donna Forsberg (donnaforsberg@sbcglobal.net) and Colin McLeod (cmm504@gmail.com).
