Granite VNA’s annual Hospice Home & Garden Tour raised more than $29,000 to support the agency’s hospice services. This year’s tour featured five remarkable properties in Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro including a country Colonial, an antique farmhouse, a lovingly restored Cape Cod-style home, a classic Craftsman-style home, and the Clark House Museum.

More than 450 attendees spent a warm July afternoon touring through Lakes Region homes and gardens, enjoying historical builds, elegant interiors, breathtaking gardens and Lakes Region vistas.

Longtime Hospice Home and Garden Tour volunteer Chairperson and catalyst Barbara Lobdell is stepping down from her role following this year’s event and will pass the torch to Karen Haskell of Wolfeboro. Haskell has supported the Hospice Home and Garden Tour for three years as a volunteer, and served as incoming Chairperson this year.

“We are incredibly grateful to the homeowners who offer their properties for the tour, the more than one hundred volunteers who dedicate their time to our event, and the hundreds of attendees who show up to support Granite VNA hospice services,” said Lobdell. “It has been an absolute pleasure working on this tour for the past fourteen years; I’m honored to have had the opportunity to serve in this way.”

Planning for the 2026 Hospice Home & Garden Tour, currently set for July 8, 2026, is already underway. The planning committee is seeking Lakes Region homeowners who are willing to open their homes and properties for the tour.
