Ridgefield Garden Tour Co-Chairs offer their thanks
A new collaboration resulted in a very smooth and successful weekend, thanks to numerous volunteers, supported by generous donors.
Ridgefield Garden Tour co-chairs Stacey Schibli and Terry McManus are expressing their gratitude following the tour last Sunday:
What a perfect day we had at the 2025 Ridgefield Garden Tour on June 8! The weather was just right—not too hot, no rain—so we could fully enjoy the beauty of each garden.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every guest who joined us. Your enthusiasm and smiles brought each garden to life, and to those we had an opportunity to chat with, it was a pleasure to meet you! You came from all over Fairfield County, Westchester, New York City and Rhode Island and beyond!
A huge shout-out to our wonderful volunteers—thanks to you, the tour flowed seamlessly. Whether you greeted guests, assisted at registration, parking and the buses, or were one of the amazing Garden Captains or volunteers in the gardens, you made it all possible.
We’re deeply grateful to our garden owners, who generously opened their personal sanctuaries to us. Your kindness allowed us to share these unique spaces with our community—you truly made this tour special.
A special thank you for the generous support of our presenting sponsor, Anita & Nick Donofrio. To our premier sponsors Karla Murtaugh Homes, Purkiss Capital Advisors and Philip and Christine Lodewick, and to all our sponsors and donors listed here, your generosity made this event possible. We are so grateful to Mark Riser and Harriet Hanlon for opening up their beautiful historic home for our pre-tour Spring Soirée, making it truly a night to remember.
The weekend was a true celebration of community spirit, beauty, and collaboration to benefit the Ridgefield Garden Club and the Ridgefield Historical Society.
We thank all who participated for being part of the 2025 inaugural Ridgefield Garden Tour!
