Moments From This Year’s Garden Walk

Hundreds turned out to welcome Spring and admire the handiwork of gardeners and artists during this year’s Park Hill Garden Walk on June 8.

The day was a balmy 68 degrees — perfect for meandering through the eight gardens featured in this year’s event. Artists were stationed in each of the gardens, some working en plein air.

At press time, organizers did not have a final tally of tickets sold or the number of people who came through the gardens. But volunteers who were checking people in were ecstatic over the steady stream of looky-loos throughout the day. They estimated at least 600 had already passed through one garden by midday.

The Garden Walk is one of several Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. sponsored events, and it raises approximately $20,000 every year to support the nonprofit’s organization’s food pantry and other programs.
