The Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour is held by the Mary Lou Heard Foundation, a California nonprofit organization dedicated to continuing Mary Lou's life work. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for the public to enjoy and celebrate the efforts and hard work of local gardeners and their residential landscapes.

This is a charitable event that raises money for The Sheepfold, a shelter for Women in Crisis and their children. Donation jars will be available at each host garden for your cash or check donations and are entirely voluntary, or you can donate through PayPal on our Donate page. Visit thesheepfold.org to find out more about the wonderful services our financial donation will help to support.
