NOGS Tour 2021 Postponed
Twenty-five days into our ticket sales for NOGS 2021, Savannah Mayor Van Johnson announced that out of an abundance of caution for public health, safety and welfare, the city’s moratorium on event permits will continue through March 31, 2021. Due to rising cases in our community it is anticipated that the moratorium will be extended past that date and into the month of April. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of our April NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens. It will be held next year on April 22 & 23. Being an outdoor event in which COVID protocols were to be implemented, we had hoped that we’d be able to host the event. However, many of our tour visitors plan trips months in advance as evidenced by our advanced ticket sales. For all the reasons above, the Garden Club’s Executive Board and NOGS Advisory Committee made the decision to cancel this year’s event. Thank you for your continued support of the Garden Club of Savannah NOGS Tour. Our beautification, education and environmental grants are made possible through ticket patrons and generous sponsors of the NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens. We hope to see you in 2022.
