East Sacramento Garden Tour 2025

East Sacramento Garden Tour 2025

The East Sac Garden Tour is David Lubin Elementary’s largest fundraiser each year. But it’s more than that too. It’s a story about East Sacramento and the beautiful gardens that exist all around us. It’s a chance to enjoy the community within our school and to also create a community outside of the school.

Held each Mother’s Day Weekend, it has become a beloved tradition in Sacramento. It’s an opportunity to celebrate all that has been slowly but steadily growing around us. The self-guided walking tour lets you explore our lovely neighborhood with the ones you love most – time enjoyed with a mom, a grandma, a neighbor or a friend. Kids are welcome too.

In addition to touring the outdoor spaces throughout the neighborhood, David Luben Elementary School hosts a Boutique, Café and 3 more gardens to admire. The on-campus experience gathers over 25 local makers – perfect for gift shopping. Visit the David Lubin led Bouquet Bar, Sweets Station and Cafe for a bite. The 3 on-campus gardens are cared for year-round by students, families and staff.

If you’re looking to elevate the day even more, you can join us at Sutter Lawn Tennis Club for our Wine Garden. We have some fun surprises at the historical neighborhood club that we can’t wait to share.

Tickets for the East Sac Garden Tour & Sutter Lawn Wine Garden can be purchased online prior to the event as well as the weekend of the event at David Lubin. All proceeds directly provide enrichment programs, Art, Music and STEAM for the 500+ students at our public elementary school.

Conflict photographer Mia wakes up in the Istanbul apartment of her on-again, off-again girlfriend after being found unconscious at the scene of a massacre she was photographing. Mia can’t even remember being there, but she wired photos of the site hours before she was found. The two women resume their volatile push-pull when Mia’s well-meaning Californian mother arrives from the US, trying to help unravel what happened to her daughter.

“Thought-provoking, challenging and complex. Those attributes alone make Unseen worth seeing, but it’s all that and more.” –ASHLAND NEWS
