Annual FTLOA Water Garden Tour
by Margaret Bates

 Our Annual Water Garden tour is now in the throes of the planning stage. 
We have had such lovely comments about the addition of the artists in the gardens, and we thank you so very much for your support for the work of the Society with  the Youth in Tanzania by making this tour so unique.
The Tour date is July 13th. 


You are all also invited to the pre tour on July 6th. This is a convoy tour of all the gardens with a complimentary lunch.  An opportunity for you to see your assigned garden, meet the homeowner and take pictures if you like.

Also, you are welcome to have a small display of art cards  for sale if you wish.

Please let me know if you can join us again this year on July 13th.  Also, you could let me know your preference for time.   The tour starts at 9:30 and runs to 4:30.  But I am suggesting hours from 10:00-1:00 and 1:00-4:00 approximately…..timing is up to you, however.
As soon as I have seen the gardens I will send you a picture of your designated garden.

Please share this with anyone you think might be interested in having fun painting someones garden, or portion thereof!!!!!😊
Best regards
Margaret
