Noe Valley Garden Tour 2013
The eleven gardens range across Noe Valley, from 21st Street to 30th, Hoffman to Dolores. Some are owner designed and maintained and some are professionally designed. Most are well established but one is brand new, showing you how to be realistic about where your new garden will start as well as what it can become. All will be on view for $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+). As always, net proceeds will go towards Noe Valley beautification. This year's beneficiary is the new garden at the Noe Valley Public Library.
DAVIDsTEA will be handing out tea samples at each of the gardens on the Tour, Dennis Otto will hand you a garden trowel to take home at his listing in Noe Valley on Tour day, Zephyr Real Estate is a water station for thirsty Garden Touristas and Cliché Noe Gifts is hosting a wine and cheese reception all day at the store. All sponsor activities will be listed on the Tour map.

Let us know which shift you prefer; we’ll try to accommodate you.
A shuttle between the gardens for those who need or want to ride, rather than walk the self-guided tour or (horrors) drive and try to park. Big thank yous to the Noe Valley Merchants & Professionals Association and to the Noe Valley Association, Noe’s community benefits district made up of property owners along 24th Street’s shopping corridor.
