4th & Gill Tour of Homes & Secret Gardens 2025
What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, the 4th & Gill Tour of Homes and Secret Gardens. Perusing historic interiors and incredible gardens in a downtown Knoxville neighborhood. Thank you to the homeowners and gardeners who welcomed countless curious and appreciative strangers (and neighbors) into their homes.
Tips for Hosting: Bridal showers, graduation parties, baby showers, and more!
You do not have to redecorate, deep clean, or renovate your home in order to host a lovely gathering in an organized way. We get it - the pressure to want to host well and to present your home at it’s best! The reality is, our homes are where we LIVE and that doesn’t always appear as tidy or organized as we hope.
