Despite the thunder and lightning on Saturday, the Richmond Beach Community Association’s annual Garden Tour can still be experienced and you’ll stay warm and dry.

A few weeks ago, when the in-person Garden Tour scheduled for Saturday, May 30 had to be cancelled in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the RBCA began working on a way to bring the gardens to the community virtually.

“We really wanted to find a way to showcase the gardens scheduled to be part of this year’s tour and we decided to experiment with something new.” said Teresa Pape, Executive Director of the Richmond Beach Community Association.

The RBCA created a YouTube channel called RichmondBeachTV (all one word). There you will be able to view videos of eight gardens. Each video is as unique as the garden itself but still gives you a snapshot of some of the beautiful plants and flowers growing in our community.

The RBCA is also asking the community if they have a picture from their garden to email it to Teresa Pape at execdirector@richmondbeachwa.org. The photos will be used to create a new video to add original content to the channel.
