This year’s Breakfast Garden Tour is scheduled for Saturday, June 7th, from 8:30 a.m. til noon. Tour participants check in at the award-winning McPherson Community Garden, 5900 McPherson.

A generous continental breakfast is served starting at 8:30 a.m., with a selection of fresh coffees provided by Genesis House.

There will be children’s activities and a bonsai demonstration by hosticulturist Johnathan Watt. Fast becoming a Skinker-deBaliviere tradition, this event is not just for gardeners, but for neighbors of all ages.

The self-guided walking tour of participating private gardens commences at 9:00 a.m.

This year’s tour focuses on gardens on the 6000 and 6100 blocks of Kingsbury and the 6000 block of Westminster. Homes in the Skinker DeBaliviere-Parkview-Catlin Tract Historic District are situated on quiet, tree-lined streets, with shaded, private backyards that permit gardeners to create intimate settings full of surprises. Tour participants report that they can satisfy their curiosity and learn a gardening tip or two at the same time.

The tour benefits the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council and is a project of its Beautification Committee. Tickets are $12.00 on the day of the tour. Children’s tickets are $5.00. Children under ten are admitted free. Under the leadership of Andy and Linda Cross, the tour has become a significant marketing as well as fund-raising event, providing attendees with the opportunity to learn more about this vibrant and diverse city
