"PRIVATE
GARDENS OF THE KENNEBUNK'S TOUR"
The 16th annual “Private Gardens of the Kennebunks” Garden
Tour will be held on Saturday, July 17, 2010, from 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m.
Rain or Shine.
This self-guided tour features 9 unique private home gardens in the
Kennebunk and Kennebunkport area. View the gardens at your own pace,
in any order you choose. This tour allows participants to gather
landscaping ideas and view perennial and annual plants that may
enhance their own gardens.
The gardens are only open from 10am to 4pm on July 17th and will be
held rain or shine. Participants are provided with a brochure
describing all the gardens and a map that provides the driving
directions to each garden. You determine how long you linger at the
garden and in what order you visit the gardens. Light refreshments
will be provided by Lucas on 9 at 62 Mills Road, (Rte 9) in Cape
Porpoise.
Special
Guest Paul Parent, host of the popular Sunday morning syndicated
radio show
“The Paul
Parent Garden Club” will share his private garden
as a bonus on the tour and offer gardening tips, as well as
answering questions on gardening in New England.
All proceeds from the tour will benefit the Child Abuse Prevention
Council's programs that consistently endeavor to educate and support
children and their families, professionals that work with children,
and the surrounding community. Central to the mission is the
promotion of healthy, nurturing relationships between children and
adults. This is achieved through education, collaboration and
advocacy in established programs and events which foster the
well-being of children and families throughout York County.
