What better way to spend a leisurely Saturday summer day than to stroll the sumptuously lovely gardens of the area. This year Lake of the Sky Garden Club invites you to discover some of the North Shore’s finest hidden gardens. They will be holding their 28th annual garden tour on Saturday, July 30, 2016, from 10 am to 4 pm.
View creative landscapes throughout the area, or just get inspired to add to your own garden. A self guided tour, the best way to experience the garden tour is to grab a bunch of your friends and carpool to the various sites. Stop for lunch along the way at one of North Lake Tahoe’s various fine restaurants, many featuring outdoor seating along the lake.

This wonderful event will be hosted in the lovely gardens of Truckee this year from 10 am to 4 pm.
I try to make this event every year. Last year’s garden tour was along Lake Tahoe’s Magical West Shore. This was a self guided tour, with viewing of creative landscaping all along Highway 89 south – from expansive lakeshore estates all the way to modest backyard secret gardens…and everything in between!
The gardens always feature creative landscaping, often incorporating decks and patios, meandering streams or lily ponds. At the larger estates, you’ll stumble upon unexpected, quiet little outdoor nooks just perfect for reading a book or wander long pathways of flower beds full of riotous blooms. I guarantee, you’ll go home inspired with a bounty of new ideas for your own yard.

This year’s event features 8 gardens as well as landscaping at the Truckee Donner Community Recreation Center, where light refreshments will be served.
Get a group of friends together and make a day of it. It’s best to carpool from house to house. Parking can be limited, and you’ll have much more fun driving together. Plan your route so you aren’t driving back and forth, and DO plan a lunch or snack break in between the gardens at one of Truckee’s many fine restaurants along the way.
