The Rockport Garden Club’s Annual Garden Tour will take place this year on Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27, with all proceeds used to fund civic projects. They invite you to their rain or shine, self-guided tour of over a dozen private gardens clustered in 3 Rockport neighborhoods. Each garden celebrates the diverse geography of Rockport, from sweeping ocean vistas, to enchanting gardens with water features, to unique granite sculptures and arches evoking the legacy of the granite industry in Rockport.
While these gardens vary in size, composition, location, and plant material, they share a common characteristic. Each garden has had significant owner input in design, planning, and/or maintenance. This collection of gardens will both inspire and delight. Lunch, including a vegetarian option, is also available for your purchase and enjoyment in a seaside garden. The tour ticket booklet includes a map to help you find the tour gardens, as well as the 13 town gardens designed and lovingly maintained by the Rockport Garden Club members.
You may also buy tickets with a check made out to the Rockport Garden Club and mailing it to Rockport Garden Club, PO Box 712, Rockport, MA 01966. Tickets are $25 each in advance, $30 on day of tour. On the day of the tour, tickets may be purchased at the Rockport Police Department, 168 Main Street (Rt. 127). Tickets at the station are available from 9 – 4 on Friday and 9 – 2 on Saturday.
