The nayb garden walk was a bit of a bust. Only the neighborhood association president and one other person came on the "walk" part. They were very complimentary and enthusiastic about my garden. Pres says "We'll have to put you on our Beautification Committee!" and I says, after a pause, "I am available for consultation."
Then the neighbors from the wooded yard next door came by and that was nice. They -- or the wife rather -- will phone me next week to set a time for me to come over and us to dig a forsythia and a particularly dark colored daylily she wants to give me. Cool!
Maybe next year they will publicize this more, but for now I am done and glad to be.
