Thank you for making our first Summer Garden Walk a success!

Thank you to all who came out to support our summer garden walk! It was great to meet so many neighbors and connect over a love of gardens. Despite the grim forecast, the rain held off and we had over 100 people attend! Special thank you to all of the gardeners who graciously welcomed neighbors into their spaces and to the many volunteers who helped make the event a success.

If you have photos from the garden walk, we would love to see them! Tag us on Instagram (@greaterrockwellorg) or Facebook (Greater Rockwell Organization). Stay tuned for more garden events coming soon!
