East Sac Garden Tour

Due to the record rainfall in Sacramento, the 2017 East Sacramento Garden Tour of the fabulous forties may provide some of the best garden displays in years. This is the 19^th year for the annual family-friendly garden event scheduled for Mother’s Day Weekend. Seven gardens are featured on the tour along with other attractions such as a ChalkTop featuring David Lubin Elementary students’ chalk art, a Tea Garden brunch at Sutter Lawn, food trucks, the Sweet Stop for refreshment and the Artisan boutique.

All proceeds from the tour directly benefit children’s education at David Lubin Elementary, the first STEAM elementary school in the Sacramento Unified School District.

Nineteen years ago, David Lubin Elementary School teachers saw the need for educational enrichment at the school. To raise funds, they created the East Sacramento Garden Tour. The Garden Tour today is a combined effort of the David Lubin Parent Teacher Group, teachers, staff and community partners. The Garden Tour funds are critically needed to fund the STEAM curriculum, art education, the After School Academy, new music program and additional teachers aids for small group learning in the classroom.
