 The Cottage and Garden Tour find out more...
The Sonoma League for Historic Preservation Auxiliary presents a self-guided, easy walking tour of selected homes and gardens on Sonoma's historic East side. This has become the major fundraiser for the League. We will be planning for our next tour, in May of 2008, beginning Fall 2007. |

Some sites have historical significance while others are charming remodels.
The tour traditionally occurs on the Sunday before Mother's day in May when Sonoma's springtime gardens are at their peak bloom. The tour runs from 12 Noon until 4:00 p.m., and light refreshments are served in two special gardens.
Volunteers are needed to become docents, help with site selections, work on publicity, and prepare refreshments. In the past over 150 volunteers worked on this event which has become a Sonoma tradition.To volunteer, please contact Jean Hopeman ohana@vom.com. | |
