Food For Thought, which provides nutritional support to those living with HIV and other serious illnesses in Sonoma County, is hosting our 22nd annual Home & Garden Tour on May 28, 10 am–5 pm. Ticket buyers have exclusive access to several stunning private homes, gardens, and properties that offer
a range of architecture, native plants, unique trees, and succulents. Funds raised by the tour go toward fresh weekly groceries, nutrition education, and a congregate lunch program for FFT’s clientele.
Highlights include: The Manzanita Estate with breathtaking views an antique rose garden, Japanese garden, fountains, perennial beds, and shade gardens in Montecito Heights, SR. This renovated 1905 home and garden has been remodeled to integrate the house and urban garden, featuring many succulents in and around a rock garden.
