The NHCC 2nd Annual Garden Tour was held on Saturday, June 14th, from 10-12 and we had beautiful weather to go along with the beautiful gardens. Approximately 31 folks met at the old bank building in the shopping center, and we carpooled/caravanned as a group to the four amazing gardens. Attendees were awed by unusual plants, whimsical fairies, colorful blooms, water features, mammoth and delicate blossoms, artistic arrangements, ornamental edibles, and incredible yard art! We were inspired, educated, and met new friends along the way.
A BIG thank you to the owners who so graciously allowed us to invade their space. Jay and Jill; Michelle; Anne and Dan; and Lela were very hospitable, and shared maintenance tips and gardening ideas. It was just a great community-building event, and a lovely way to spend a morning in our Newport Hills neighborhood, despite the 405 detour traffic!
We launched a new section called “My Newport Hills Story” It’s a community history project, where we collect stories from Newport Hills residents. Please take a look and let us know what you think. This is just a beginning, and we’d love to collect more stories. You can share: how you chose Newport Hills to live; what you like about this neighborhood; and any interesting stories about you and your community. Or you can nominate someone for an interview.
