Members and friends of the Presque Isle Garden Club invite you to join them for Sundays in the Garden.
Roberta Griffiths reports this event features six Presque Isle gardens open to the public now through August.
Admission is $3 per garden, payable on the day of the tour at the featured garden, and the hours for each tour are from noon to 3 p.m., rain or shine.
“We are attempting to show gardens as they evolve through the season,” Griffiths explained, “offering different plants in bloom, unlike a one-time tour.
“After six months of winter here, we are excited about our gardens!” she added.
The first tour is noon-3 p.m. Sunday June 29, at the home of Pat Rathbun, 129 Hardy St.
The second tour is Sunday, July 13, and features the garden of Julie Freeman at 14 Coburn Ave. Next is the garden of Tammy Walton, Sunday, July 20, at 8 Dupont St., followed by the Andi Dyer garden, Sunday, July 27, at 205 Fort Road.
On Sunday, Aug. 3, visit the garden of Nadine Moreau, 111 Hanson Lake Road, and conclude your tours Sunday, Aug. 10, in the garden of Darlene Higgins, 135 Higgins Road.
Homeowners will be on site to answer questions about plant materials and to lead tours.
Proceeds from this event “will support our projects, which include downtown beautification,” Griffiths wrote of such gardens as the one at the public library and the Main Street bed, and will also help fund a scholarship for a student attending the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
