Garden Tour 2026

3rd ANNUAL GARDEN TOUR HUGE SUCCESS!

The NHCC 3rd Annual Garden Tour was held on Saturday, June 20th.  Weather started out cold, but soon turned perfect.  Approximately 35 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, a tiny house, whimsical yard art, colorful blooms, amazingly designed water features, terraced gardens, artistic plant arrangements, and water wise plants! 

Bonus:  We were also invited to visit the Children’s Garden at Newport Heights Elementary School, spearheaded by Diana and Brian, to see what our local students have been growing, which was very impressive.

We were inspired, educated, and met new friends along the way.

A BIG thank you to the garden hosts who so graciously allowed us to invade their space.  Irene, Gary, Vicki, and Frank and Kit were very hospitable, shared maintenance tips, gardening ideas, snacks and even plant starts.  It was just a great community-building event, and a lovely way to spend a morning with Newport Hills neighbors. 

A thank you goes out to Bala, too, for taking and sharing such great photos, which are posted on our website, too.  

Looking forward to doing it again next year! 

Sincerely, Anne Rittenhouse and Christy Santos, NHCC Garden Tour Chairs

The 2026 Egg Hunt Was A Great Success!

The 2026 EGG HUNT GREAT SUCCESS! Even the weather cooperated! Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who showed up at the event and made it so fun. The youth volunteers were especially appreciated, as they donned the Hoppy costume, applied tattoos, helped kids with the Jellybean contest, put out eggs for the hunt, came early for set-up, and stayed late for clean-up. A big thank you to all those who worked so hard behind the scenes, too, including the amazing Egg Stuffers. We also wish to thank Reet Sangha, owner of the Eastgate Dairy Queen, who generously donated 50 coupons for free ice cream comes. We’re looking forward to doing it again in 2027!

Yours,

Heidi Schoon, Egg Hunt Chair, and Anne Rittenhouse, Co-Chair”

Garden Tour 2025

OUR 2nd ANNUAL GARDEN TOUR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

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!
