A HEARTFELT THANK YOU!

On behalf of the Racine Garden Club, we are grateful to all the Garden Owners who participated in our 2026 Garden Tour and helped make it a special one. They worked hard and were dedicated to bringing everyone an excellent and inspiring experience.
We also thank the visitors who attended and shared so many positive comments about the gardens. Many said they enjoyed meeting the owners, seeing the architecture, design, flowers and art, receiving helpful information, and taking part in the lemonade stand, raffle, free books and pollinator seed giveaway.
