Saturday, July 15 – 11th Cape Elizabeth Garden Tour

by

The 11th Cape Elizabeth Garden Tour in Maine will take place July 15 in beautiful Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

The tour will feature beautiful gardens with ocean views, backyard wildlife habitat, native plants, woodlands, stonework, and more – this popular self-guided tour is not to be missed. Proceeds benefit the Friends of Fort Williams Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose work preserves and enhances this amazing space through the Ecology Project. Our ongoing stewardship includes the revitalization of Children’s Garden amenities, tree and shrub plantings along the Cliff Walk, and increasing native plant diversity in Cliffside, and all our sites.
