At Gonzalez Painters and Contractors, we believe that “home” doesn’t stop at four walls — it extends into the gardens, yards, and neighborhoods that make up the heart of our community. That’s why we were thrilled to serve as a Tree Level Sponsor for the second annual Durham Garden Tour, an inspiring weekend that brought neighbors together to celebrate the beauty of local gardens while supporting the mission of Keep Durham Beautiful.

A Weekend That Celebrated Durham’s Natural Beauty

The 2025 Durham Garden Tour was more than just a stroll through beautiful landscapes — it was a celebration of community, creativity, and sustainability. Over the course of two days, residents and visitors explored some of Durham’s most breathtaking private and public gardens, from intimate backyard retreats to expansive perennial beds and rain gardens.

As visitors moved from garden to garden at their own pace, they soaked up design inspiration, discovered new plant varieties, and connected with fellow garden enthusiasts. The interactive program, complete with maps, plant highlights, and insider tips, served as both a guide and a keepsake, making the experience even more memorable.

Supporting a Greener, Stronger Durham

Beyond the beauty, the heart of the event was its mission. Proceeds from the tour benefited Keep Durham Beautiful, a nonprofit devoted to making Durham a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable place to live. From tree plantings and litter cleanups to educational programs and volunteer projects, Keep Durham Beautiful plays a vital role in strengthening our neighborhoods and protecting our environment.

By sponsoring the Garden Tour, Gonzalez Painters and Contractors was proud to help advance this mission — because we know that creating beautiful spaces, indoors and out, helps foster a stronger, healthier community.

Thank You to Everyone Who Made It Happen

We want to extend our gratitude to the organizers, volunteers, gardeners, and fellow sponsors who brought this event to life. From preparing gardens to guiding guests, it was truly a community effort. And to everyone who joined the tour — thank you for showing your support, your curiosity, and your love for Durham’s green spaces.

Our Ongoing Commitment to Community

At Gonzalez Painters and Contractors, we believe that a beautiful home goes hand in hand with a beautiful community. Whether we’re restoring historic homes, painting vibrant exteriors, or updating interior spaces, we approach every project with the same care and passion for making Durham shine.

Our sponsorship of the Durham Garden Tour reflects that commitment, and we look forward to supporting more initiatives that bring people together and help Durham thrive.
