LISTEN TO CONVERSATION WITH SAM ELLIOTT
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Deborah’s Legacy will host its annual Landscape and Garden Tour this Friday and Saturday, June 27–28, offering residents a chance to explore four of North Platte’s most picturesque gardens while supporting a Christ-centered recovery program for women.
The self-guided tour runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased in advance at Deborah’s Legacy, located across from Huebner's Nursery Lawn & Garden, or at Bible Supplies. Limited tickets may also be available the mornings of the event at the downtown pop-up shop in Blackledge Park.
Sam Elliott, one of the event organizers, said during a recent radio interview that the tour not only showcases the creativity and hard work of local gardeners but also brings the community together in a meaningful way.
“Our gardeners have been working very, very hard to create fabulous spaces,” Elliott said. “It’s a joyful event. People leave inspired — sometimes even with a new plant or two.”
This year’s tour also includes a stop at Blackledge Park, where the Deborah’s Legacy pop-up shop will feature items handmade by women in the program, including garden accessories, T-shirts, and coffee. Proceeds from the event benefit Deborah’s Legacy, a nonprofit supporting women recovering from addiction, homelessness, and crisis.
Attendees will also be entered into a prize drawing that includes gift certificates, a large handcrafted planter box, and a ticket to the Sip & Savor event at Dahlia Valley Ranch in Arnold.
“This is just a great way to start your summer morning — grab your friends, take your time through each garden, and maybe go to lunch afterwards,” Elliott said. “Friends don’t let friends go to a garden tour alone.”
