25th Annual Mission Hills Garden Walk scheduled for Mother’s Day Weekend
The 2023 Mission Hills Garden Walk, a much-loved gardening tradition in this beautiful neighborhood, will be celebrating the 25th annual garden walk. Each year has been a success offering a variety of gardens that will be sure to offer ideas for anyone thinking of making changes in their own gardens or to just stroll through and enjoy the beauty of each one. The walk will include a few spectacular gardens from past years in addition to wonderful gardens not yet seen. It will again be held on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday, May 13.
This year’s Garden Walk will again include a scavenger hunt with a prize for all youth finding the treasures in the gardens. Admission is free for children 10 and under, however strollers are not allowed in the gardens.
The Garden Walk is designed to be approximately a two-mile route through Mission Hills, known for its variety of home and garden styles. To assure safety again this year, participants will select a time slot for starting the walk, with a limited number of individuals in any one garden at a time. Participants will pick up their map at Mission Hills Nursery, 1525 Fort Stockton Dr., on the day of the walk at their selected start time. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, March 15 and should be purchased in advance ($35) at www.missionhillsgardenclub.org. There is no guarantee tickets will be available the day of the walk.
The Mission Hills Garden Club, established in 1997, is a non-profit, community service organization dedicated to educating, engage, beautify, and give back. Proceeds from the annual Garden Walk support community improvement projects including the Gecko Garden at Grant Elementary School, restoration of Allen Canyon, plantings at Pioneer Park and Presidio Park, as well as scholarships to students studying agriculture and related fields.
