Join us for our 26th Annual Garden Tour

We are absolutely delighted to invite you to this special event, where the beauty of Livingston County’s private gardens meets the profound purpose of supporting survivors in our community.

As you stroll through these meticulously cultivated landscapes, we hope you find inspiration, peace, and renewed appreciation for the natural world. Each garden on this tour is a testament to passion and dedication, much like the commitment shown by our supporters and the resilience of the survivors we serve.

Each ticket sold makes a tangible difference. Every dollar raised directly supports LACASA’s vital, life-saving services for survivors of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual violence. From safe shelter and crisis intervention to counseling and advocacy, your attendance helps us cultivate hope and healing for individuals and families on their journey to a brighter future.

Thank you for helping survivors bloom!

Kudos to Kat

If you’ve seen painted windows in storefronts around Livingston County, there’s a very good chance you’re already familiar with the work of artist Kathy Markovich, known professionally as Kat McButterfly.

LACASA is honored that Kat chose to lend her incredible talent to this year’s Garden Tour, painting a pair of vintage windows with a delicate floral motif that you can take home if your lucky number is pulled in the Blooming Raffle.

A third-generation artist and former figure skating coach, the Howell resident sees her artwork as a way to spread joy and positivity to the world. Having lived through her share of struggles, including a traumatic brain injury that resulted in several surgeries, Kat is a firm believer in the healing power of art.

Along with beautifying the home of the lucky winner, Kat’s painted windows will certainly further LACASA’s mission to provide hope and healing to victims of interpersonal violence.

Be sure to visit Terraces Flower Farm (Garden Tour stop #4) to browse all the fabulous items and purchase raffle tickets.
