2022 Garden Walk Set For June 12

Last year’s Park Hill Garden Walk had record-breaking attendance, and the organizing committee is expecting similarly high interest for this year’s event on Sunday, June 12.

The annual Garden Walk is a daylong event designed to showcase the handiwork of local gardeners and featured artists. Eight gardens will be featured throughout the Park Hill neighborhood this year, with the work of local artists who display their work at each location. The art forms range from oil paintings, watercolor, mixed media, acrylic, ceramic sculpture, metal sculpture, jewelry and more. Many of the featured artists will work en plein air the day of the Garden Walk.

As with past Garden Walks, attendees will be treated to English themed gardens, Japanese influenced gardens and even “secret gardens.”  One of the gardens has the elements of an urban-style forest, with significant diversification of native species and an outdoor kitchen complete with fireplace and television. Other gardens include water features, fire pits and even a totem pole.

Tickets will go on sale beginning May 1 at parkhillgardenwalk.org. Advance tickets are $15, seniors (age 65-plus) are $12 and children under 12 are free. Tickets will also be available at several retail locations throughout Park Hill.  Make sure to check upcoming issues of the newspaper for additional details..

The Park Hill Garden Walk committee is a group of volunteers working to raise funds to support the Greater Park Hill Community mission.  GPHC, Inc. is a volunteer-based registered neighborhood organization that promotes the character and vibrancy of Park Hill through its resources, information and advocacy, and preserving the quality of life and the history of the neighborhood through community participation.
