2024 Home Garden Tour

The 2024 MBS Home Garden Tour on June 8 showcased a variety of landscaping ideas to illustrate what's possible in our high desert climate. The event allowed 135 participants to meet the homeowners whose vision and hard work created their gardens, and so hopefully inspire ideas of their own.

In addition to our dedicated volunteers, Montrose Botanical Society sends its sincere thanks to the following homeowners for their generosity in sharing their gardens on our tour:

Susan Chandler-Reed and Alan Reed,
Anne and Dave Schuttig,
Linda and Dave Brisco,
Gayle Johnson and Steve Manis, and
Maggie Ogilvie and Don Mace.

MBS is also grateful to the plein aire artists and musicians who added a garden party flair to the day:

Artists: Gina Grundemann, Jean Munro, Jennifer Riefenberg, Stephanie Rody, Virginia Unseld and Anita Winter
Harp and Hammer Musicians: Robin Freed, Lisa Acevedo, Riely Andresen and Olivia Renfrow
Country Musicians: Marv Ballantyne, Karin Freudenberg, George Layton, Paul Louer, Vick Rosar and Dave Stannard

And a special thanks to Jim Cencer for his photography during the day of tour and for crafting short videos that can be viewed on our Facebook page.
