The Camden Garden Club’s 77th Annual Garden Tour will take place, rain or shine, Thursday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Six distinctive gardens, designed and lovingly maintained by their owners will be showcased. From a sweeping five-acre estate to a charming village garden tucked into the woods, each stop offers inspiration and discovery. It is both a privilege and a pleasure for Club members to share these unique spaces with the community.

Not only are the homes the highlight, but this year, Tour Chairs, Susan Reider and Lynne Meagher welcome Cassie Sano as the En Plein Air Artist. Cassie will be working throughout the day at a designated garden. Raffle tickets for her painting will be available.

Another new aspect to the day will be two garden demonstrations held at one of Camden’s best-kept secrets, a modern barn in the middle of town that sits between an apple orchard, a wooded area, raised dahlia beds, and a wildflower meadow. All ticket holders are invited to enjoy special sessions held during the day. Linda Redmond of Brae Maple Farm and Gabrielle Jansen of Firefox Farm will create beautiful works of art from nature. There will be an additional raffle for the created works. All Raffle proceeds benefit the CGC Scholarship Fund.

Your Tour ticket is your all-access pass to gardens and activities across the day. At each location, a Master Gardener and the homeowners will be pleased to answer questions. The funds raised by the Annual Garden Tour support the Club’s ongoing activities, programs, and mission.

Proceeds enable the Club to provide Camden’s hanging flower baskets in the summer, the holiday wreaths in the winter, maintenance of the Camden Village Green and thirteen civic gardens, a robust scholarship program, an exciting winter Horticulture series as well as many other civic and educational projects.
