On behalf of the Highline Historical Society, I'd like to thank everyone involved in the 2013 Highline Garden Tour, held last Saturday (June 8.)

From the gardeners who offer up their unique visions of a verdant paradise and the guest artists who share their talents, to our business sponsors, wonderful volunteers, and, of course, the The Highline Times for providing great advance coverage.

All of these efforts add up to an event that knits the Highline community together in a myriad of ways.

Ideas are swapped and inspiration is ignited. The tour makes a point of both celebrating the diversity of expression and finding common ground.

We wish everyone a happy summer in the garden, and we look forward to producing another great Highline Garden Tour in 2014 - hope to see you then!
