I've finally had a minute to post some pictures of my yard from the Santiam Heritage Foundation Garden Tour this past weekend. There were 8 gardens on the tour including my friend Pam's, this event is a fundraiser for the restoration of the Brown House in Stayton OR. I was only able to visit a few gardens myself and they were spectacular! We had over 200 visitors to our gardens and were told this was the best attended tour yet!
A very dedicated group of volunteers who have passion for saving this grand old home have spent many, many hours on this labor of love. I was more than happy to help out in any way I could to help save this old beauty.
The house will have exterior painting done this fall and proceeds from the garden tour will help purchase roofing materials for out buildings. I plan to help out at the house when they move into the interior work (I'm not sure why I offered to help, I can't even get stuff done on my own old house!).
