We are going to start out at three different locations and separately cover all the gardens along various and sundry routes, ending with a grand finale at El Jardin about 3pm.
Please join us if you can, it’s a celebration of our gardens!!
Bring your music, your funny walks, your butterfly wings and let’s have a good time.

The Southern troupe will meet at Children’s Magical Garden at 1pm. and will have the “Welcome to the Garden District ” signs and hang them from the gardens on their route.

The Northern crew meets at Dias y Flores at 1pm and will also have the signs and take care of al that biz.

The best in the West meets at Liz Christy at 1pm to begin our walkabout with signs etc.

In the meantime, the world at our final destination, El Jardin, is turning.
a plethora of poets to do stunts of elocution and daring dos at El Jardin, and musicians extrodinaire are preparing to offer musical interludes and April interpretations of the Bunny Rabbit Theme from Chocolateville.
While treats and drinks are being assembled for the assemblage and the heavens will smile in recognition of our humble Spring Awakening 2015.
