When I was filing away all the photos I took on this years Phoenix Home & Garden Tour, I noticed that I have been going on these tours for five years now. It would have been six if last year hadn't been the lost pandemic year. I started attending the tours back in 2016 when I visited this lovely garden. It was a lot like visiting a park. I posted about it here.
In 2017, the tour included the garden at this house which was full of a lots of plants more common to the southwest. I posted about this one here.
In 2018, we enjoyed a tour of this house, both inside and out. The back garden for this one was my favorite. I posted about it here.
In 2019 one of the stops was at this house that is located in Paradise Valley on the north side of Camelback Mountain. This was a very modern house surrounded by desert landscape and a pool with a view. I posted about this one here.

Yes those yearly visits are always fun to see something new and interesting. I miis all those things so much too.
All of the homes you've visited over the years have been pretty special Sharon, especially in the way they fit in with the Arizona landscape 💜
These are beautiful.
It is certainly an event to look forward to each year!
An interesting assortment of gardens, for sure. I like the way the jagged roof of the Paradise Valley house echoes the jagged shapes of the mountains, and that contemplative Buddha in the top photo is beautiful.
A nice look back. The garden tours are wonderful to see and look at. Beautifully captured through the years, well done, Sharon.
Ha! Judging from that first photo, it looks like you and I were thinking along the same lines today. :-)
I need to do those again, decades
I like the first photo best.
The last one is fabulous.
Only five? It seems that I have seen more than five years of posts from this event.
Just beautiful
