The Wellington Garden Club is proud to announce “Glorious Gardens,” its eighth biennial Garden Tour, to be held Saturday, April 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Five spectacular private gardens in Wellington and the surrounding communities, showcasing a wide variety of landscape styles and plantings, will be open to the public for one day only. One garden demonstrates what can be done with limited space and contains unique focal points. Another has a truly delightful secret garden. Another is a blend of artwork, landscaping and wildlife with succulents galore showcased in an unusual landscape. A large property features many varieties of bamboo and other large trees, creating an interesting canopy for lovely intimate gardens.
In addition, there will be a unique plant sale, a book signing by nationally acclaimed garden author Pamela Crawford and raffle items.
