Springtime in Decatur

This year the Decatur Garden Tour returns to the spring and adds a new dimension for participants with the theme “Outdoor Spaces. Entertaining Places.” Some of the gardeners will open part of their homes to demonstrate the flow between indoor living areas and patios, decks, and the garden for relaxation and entertaining.

Find inspiration in:

• Great patios, gazebos and spaces for entertaining
• Native plants and rare specimens
• Serene waterfalls, fountains and ponds
• Art and sculpture installations

Your ticket purchase benefits the Oakhurst Community Garden Project and the Decatur Preservation Alliance to support their operations and programs.

Oakhurst Community Garden Project

Mission: to cultivate vibrant green space and inspire a community of environmental stewards.

Vision: The Oakhurst Community Garden Project (OCGP) – incorporated in 1997 – actively engages youth, families, and individuals in their environment, health and community through organized programs, classes and events that develop creative skills in sustainable urban living, organic gardening, health and nutrition.

The OCGP serves as community garden, nature center, neighborhood meeting space and wildlife habitat and is open for all to experience the potential of urban green space. The Garden provides resources for people to take home and apply in other areas of their lives. In 2010, the OCGP expanded by one acre with the addition of Sugar Creek Garden and also adopted the Decatur Farm to School initiative into the organization.
