Small and not so small treasures of gardening are discovered during this one day self-guided tour. The tour lets you experience private gardens you might never see otherwise. The tour began as a way to celebrate and share our neighbors’ gardening skills, and to give something back to the community. We draw people from all parts of Maine and out of state – some even planning their vacation around the tour. People always say they are surprised by what homeowners have done with their gardens, clever use of small or challenging spaces, and the bursts of color.
