On Saturday, May 9, Elk Rock Garden hosted its first-ever Three Garden Tour, giving ticketholders a rare opportunity to explore three historic Kerr Family Gardens: Elk Rock Garden (the beloved home and garden of Peter Kerr) and the homes and gardens of his two daughters, Jane (Kerr) Platt and Ann (Kerr) McDonald.
The weather was perfect; our hosts, visitors, and volunteers were fabulous; and the energy was absolutely magical!
Together we raised $7,500 for the care and maintenance of Elk Rock Garden. Thank you to all who made this possible (with an extra special thank you to David and Lisa Platt, and Todd Liebow and Anita Barbey, for sharing their gardens with our tourgoers!)
We’re already dreaming about future offerings. Tell us in the comments: what kind of tour would you love to attend next?
