Provincetown Garden Tour

Sunday, July 17, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm – The Secret Garden Tour in Provincetown

by

The Annual Secret Garden Tour welcomes nearly 500 visitors for a self-guided journey through private residential gardens in Provincetown. Tickets include access to a free parking lot, admission to gardens, and admission to view the exhibitions in the Museum. We are incredibly grateful to the homeowners that help raise money for Provincetown Art Association and Museum by sharing their beautiful oases with us. $40 – purchase at https://paam.org/support/secret-garden-tour/

Your ticket for the Secret Garden Tour will be available to be picked up the day of the tour (it is a secret, after all!) at any of these three locations:

The parking lots are first-come, first-served and have filled up in the past. If no spaces remain when you arrive, you can pick up your ticket from a volunteer and then go park your car elsewhere before beginning the tour (Parking in Provincetown). Street parking can be found by those with keen eyes or incredible luck.

PAAM staff and volunteers offer a “shuttle service” in their personal vehicles between the parking lot, PAAM, and the neighborhood where the gardens are located, but most places in Provincetown are within walking distance if that’s your preference. Please be prepared to wear a mask when inside the vehicle.

Your ticket also grants you admission to PAAM on the day of the tour, where you can enjoy a restroom and air conditioning in addition to five beautiful art exhibitions, including Art of the Garden: Selections from the Pat and Nanno de Groot Collection.

This event happens rain or shine, and tickets are non-refundable. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and plenty of sunscreen!

Please contact Lesley with any questions (lmarchessault@paam.org). We look forward to seeing you!
