This year’s Breakfast Garden Tour featured the backyards on the 6000 and 6100 blocks of Kingsbury and the 6000 block of Westminster.

Each year, we enjoy a variety of new gardens and established yards.

This year we were fortunate to be able to include gardens of the parents of the tour organizers, who set us in the right direction a few years ago when they created similar neighborhood events. Thank you to all who shared their backyards with us, and to all the other volunteers. Also, thanks to all who bought tickets for the tour. Your participation helps make this event and this neighborhood a great place to live.
