Mary Pat Rowan, President, Greater Brookland Garden Club, in annoucing this tour, noted  that:
"there are t
wo Washingtons: one is the world capital, the stage of the mighty and powerful (and sometimes silly), marble columns and majestic beauty. But there is another Washington, hometown Washington, an alliance of communities as small as a single block, some with 10,000 or more residents. Brookland is one of these Hometowns, D.C.  Institutions make communities, and communities make institutions: churches, neighborhood schools, baby-sitting coops, sports teams for the kids… For more than twenty years now the Greater Brookland Garden Club has been one of those institutions. And, like a living plant, every so often we flower: the House and Garden Tour is one of our annual flowers.

Every flower needs deep roots and strong stems: the roots of this tour were planted by Jeff Wilson and Alvin Truesdale, our Founding Fathers. This year’s tour is also especially indebted to two of our local residents, Jake Abbott and Shemaya Klar, of Abbott Klar Real Estate Group, who are sponsoring the reception and are strong supporters of the Greater Brookland Garden Club.  Of course we are always greatly appreciative of all the members of the GBGC who are always ready to do their part, often inspired by the example of Jo Moore. (And we mourn the recent loss of two stalwarts, Noelle Senerchia and Phil Raidt.)
If you live here: get involved, in the Garden Club or in any of our other civic institutions. There is no better way to meet your neighbors and be a real neighbor. If you live elsewhere, we are happy to have you with us as our guests. Make very sure you stay for the party at the end of the day."
