Held on Sunday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., we have nine showcase gardens (eight private, one public) scattered throughout Santa Clarita Valley. The gardens will range from the most incredible architectural design to the most humble cottage gardens. This is a self-guided tour where your donation is a freewill offering. Each individual garden will have a donation bucket. Freewill donations support the Cole William Larsen Foundation Inc., a 501c3 public non-profit charity which supports families of fallen and wounded military.
Garden tour programs will be available at Green Thumb Nursery, Sunset Nursery, Green Landscape Nursery and other participating businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley. For additional information please visit www.memorialgardentour.com.
My inspiration to organize this garden tour is my son, PFC Cole William Larsen, who gave his life on November 13, 2004 while serving his country in Iraq. This tour is to honor the memory of my son along with all of our brave fallen and wounded military who have sacrificed for our country.
