Happy Sunday!
Numbers have been crunched this morning, and here some results from the big event: 

23 Total Gardens

200 total tickets sold for $4,180 (119% of $3500 goal)
-164 pre-sale (89 online, 50 by the board, 25 at local businesses)
-36 day-of sales
By comparison: 171 tix sold in 2013, 141 tix sold in 2012, 124 tix sold in 2011

198 checked in to take the tour
-171 of paid tickets
-27 comps from sponsors
By comparison: 170 tour-takers in 2013, 111 in 2012, 108 in 2011

38 sponsors for $8,000 cash (114% of $7,000 goal) and $4,425 in-kind
(By comparison, 26 sponsors for $6,000 cash in 2013 - our first year with a big effort in this direction)

GRAND TOTAL: $12,180 - 116% of our goal! 
(Plus $227 in swag sales and 1 new member.*)

Many thanks to all that contributed to making our tour a great success!
Those of you that recruited gardens and sponsors, promoted the invite to media, neighbors and friends, volunteered your time, took the tour, and talked up the Co-op in general. 

This goes to show what a wonderful community we have here. I'm proud to call you all my friends and neighbors. 

Hoping next year's Garden Tour Hub is our store, 
~Leigh 


*Note: We only garnered 1 new member at this year's tour, as compared to 8 new members last year. I think this shows that we are engaging our current membership and that our tour is also a draw for those outside of our community.

Any other questions about the tour? Let me know!

Amazing job all! It was fantastic seeing everyone brave the heat and having a great time. Good to know it was as successful as it seemed. Thanks Leigh and Martin and the whole team who put in such amazing effort to pull it off. 

Thanks,
Jessica

Amazing job, Leigh!  You, Martin, and the crew really killed it this year.  I'm just in awe of what you put together as a team.  Thank you, thank you.

Awesome job Leigh!

We had a fantastic time and loved having our garden as part of the tour!  What a success!

Let me echo these sentiments. This was an absolutely great event and Leigh, Martin and the P/E crew and Jen M. coordinating volunteers made sure it came off without a hitch. Everyone involved in recruiting gardens and sponsors did a great job! And whoever was responsible for holding off the rain until several minutes after our 4pm end time is also amazing.

Great job, Leigh, Martin, & team!  Everyone with me had a great time exploring all of the gardens and meeting the neighbors/members.  It was also really nice to see everyone outside of our meetings!

Hey everyone, the garden tour was great.  Sorry to have to ask a favour but Ian from the shared space called to say that we need to move our stuff to the basement.  Is anyone available today who could go to the space?  I'm not I'm town today -- the soonest I could get there is tomorrow evening.  Thanks Michael

So sorry...I take the blame for that one. I had never been there before and had no idea where to leave it! Unfortunately, I am not in South Philly until late tonight. The soonest I could do it is sometime tomorrow afternoon. Is anyone else able to pop by earlier?

Hi, everyone. The space is at 1728 South 11th Street (corner of 11th and Pierce).

If no one can make it today by 5:30, it would be best to do it tomorrow. I'm here just after 7am.

Ian.

It's not too much stuff - would be a couple of trips up and down the stairs, but nothing that's too heavy for one person to carry.

Thanks,
