About Us

As the major fundraising PTA event, the proceeds from the Garden Tour go to enrich students—K-8th Grade—in Art, Music, and Musical Theatre. The Garden Tour began in 1996 when two Ross School mothers, Dianne Fruin and BJ Martin, conceptualized the tour as a way to raise money for the school's PTA. Seven spectacular gardens were featured that first year and it was a huge success. Succeeding years' chairs have incorporated changes enhancing this annual event. Thank you for supporting the Garden Tour and the many children in our school.
