The Wareham Garden Club presents “Tour des Fleurs – A Gateway Garden Stroll”, Saturday, July 13 from 9 am to 3 pm. The stroll will include seven gardens. Four homes are in one association neighborhood, and all are uniquely different from one another including vegetable gardening. All use an exquisite selection of perennials and complimentary annuals that are standouts. Photograpy will be displayed at this location for purchase. The next home is close by and the uniqueness of depth and texture of gardens twist and turn down to water’s edge. The owners’ art will be on display. The sixth property spills into Buzzards Bay with impressive topiary plantings, shrubbery, succulents and arrangements. Lastly is a home with a cranberry bog view with impressive Hostas, lush evergreens, glorious day lilies and lots of horticulture, as well as more photography.
Advance tickets are $35 can be purchased on the club’s website at www.warehamgardenclub.org or day of tour for $40 at the registration desk at the Wareham Free Library, 59 Marion Road, Wareham where everyone will be given the map of homes. Also at the library you will be able to participate in a silent auction. Some teasers are gift certificates to garden centers, nautical paintings, day at a pool with lunch and a day on a boat with lunch.
Proceeds from the club’s events help fund their community projects, including civic beautification; monthly garden therapy at the Wareham Council on Aging, Educational Programs, and the Scholarship Program that awards grants to Wareham residents who are planning to further their education with a focus on horticulture, agriculture, the environment, earth sciences, biology, or conservation.
