Welcome to the Historic Fourth Ward and the fifth annual Secret Gardens of Fourth Ward tour! The purpose of this exciting event is to share our neighborhood, our gardens, and our unique way of life with you. Every person in the Fourth Ward makes an original contribution to the fabric of this vibrant urban community. From houses to condos, gardens to terraces – we all wanted to share our homes during the most incredible times of the year. I speak on behalf of everyone in Fourth Ward when I say THANK YOU for coming!
This event could not have been possible without the tireless efforts and support of the Garden Tour Committee members: Beth Walker (Walker Event Group), Adam Roth (Adam Roth Design), Stefanie Young, Hannah Pohlmann, David Snapp, Miller Winecoff, and Jeremy Baldwin, along with the many other Board Members, homeowners, volunteers and neighbors who pitched in! Many thanks also to Sarah Kennard and Lynn Weis for their help in organizing the Fourth Ward Park and Pinewood/ Elmwood Cemetery tours. Thank you ALL for helping to make this event possible.
I also wanted to thank our incredible advertisers and sponsors. Without their support this Tour would not be a reality! We encourage each of you to support these businesses who do so much to make Center City a vibrant place to live, work and play!
And last but certainly not least, a genuine “thank you” to YOU for choosing to spend this beautiful time of year with us. Your support of the tour will have a lasting impact on the continuing cultural dynamics of the Historic Fourth Ward neighborhood. Please come back soon to visit us for our Holiday Home Tour, December 7-9, 2018, or any time you feel like being part of our exciting neighborhood for tours, carriage rides, B-cycles, or a picnic in the park!
Happy Gardening to all!
Heath Knott, Tour Chair
