This year’s program includes:
9 a.m. — Nature Time puppet program for children
9:15 until 10 a.m. — Children’s games and crafts led by club members
10 a.m. — A presentation from landscape architect and Avondale Estates resident Steve Sanchez
10:30 a.m. — Arborist-led walks around the historic portion of Avondale Estates where there are sidewalks. Walks leave from the shore of Lake Avondale near the Gazebo.

Hosted biannually by the Avondale Estates Garden Club, the Bonnie Phelps Memorial Tree Walk is named in honor of long-time Avondale Estates Garden Club member, the late Bonnie Phelps. The event is held in the fall every odd numbered year (2025). On even numbered years, the club hosts a tour of the city’s Secret Gardens — beautifully landscaped gardens behind homes and out of public view. The next Secret Garden Tour will be June 6, 2026.

Avondale Estates club members Helen Dorroh and Joe Foley are chairing the event.
