Are you looking for even more signs that summer is just about here to stay? If so, join us at the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club’s June in Bloom. This year’s biennial Garden Tour will be in full display in our quaint seaside village on June 24, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Several expansive gardens will be waiting for ticket holders, each of which has been specially selected from a variety of styles including formal to informal, woodsy to cottage, seaside to secluded and even a monochromatic garden. The gardens highlight the use of annuals, perennials, herbs, shrubs, trees, and even spectacular container plantings. Besides simply viewing the beautiful gardens, visitors will find that all of them emphasize steps that can be taken to improve home gardens as well.
Advance tickets, priced at $30.00, will go on sale on May 9. You can find them for sale at local businesses including at Pen & Pendulum, Isabelle’s, Town Wharf General Store, and Ying Dynasty in Mattapoisett; in Fairhaven at Periwinkles and What a Find.; and in Marion at Eden Florist and Garden Shop. You can also purchase tickets to the Garden Tour at the MWC’s online sales kiosk at mattapoisettwomansclub.org.
On the day of the Tour, tickets will be $35.00 and will be available only under the tent beside the Ying Dynasty Restaurant on Route 6 in Mattapoisett. This is the same area where all attendees must stop to pick up their Tour Maps after 9:30 am on the day of the Tour, and it is also where day-of-sale tickets will be available. At 2:00 pm, all ticket sales will stop to allow participants adequate time to see as many gardens if their choice as possible.
The proceeds from this year’s Garden Tour will benefit the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club’s Scholarship Fund as well as the Club’s philanthropic efforts, public programming, and community outreach. The Club is always open to new members from the greater SouthCoast area. For more information about the Club and/or a membership application, please see our website at mattapoisettwomansclub.org.
