The Garden Tour is a fundraising event to fund good health in Sonoma County, and to accomplish this we have set our fund raising goal at $75,000 for the 2008 Garden Tour. This annual event features a self-guided tour of six private gardens for the viewing of horticulture enthusiasts seeking inspiration or those simply curious about intriguing garden spaces within a community.
Proceeds benefit community health and health education programs throughout Sonoma County.
