| Friends of Edgemoor HOUSE & GARDEN TOUR |
|
Every other year, the Friends of Edgemoor is delighted to present a House and Garden Tour. The last tour was in Spring 2009 and the next one will take place in Spring 2011. The Edgemoor neighborhood was established in the early 1900's, as "Edgewood." An developer's brochure promoted the neighborhood, noting that “[t]he village of Bethesda is near at hand, with markets, stores, churches, schools and physician’s residences – while larger shops and dairies of the City have free daily deliveries to Edgewood.” Although the neighborhood and surrounding Bethesda have evolved greatly since then, many aspects of Edgemoor remain unchanged.
The House & Garden Tour celebrates the neighborhood's beauty and diversity. It also helps to ensure the continuance of that tradition. Edgemoor's streets are lined with hundred-year-old trees intermingled with young trees planted with funds raised by House & Garden Tours in years past. In addition, House & Garden Tour proceeds are used to support local charitable organizations.
