On Monday, July 26, from 11 – 4, seven private gardens on the western side of Mount Desert Island will be open to benefit the Southwest Harbor Public Library. Call 207-244-7065 for more information. We have tried to verify the date of the tour, because Monday seems to be an unusual day to hold a tour, but all sources at this point indicate this is correct. The web site for the Southwest Harbor Public Library unfortunately does not describe the event.
The Trustees of the Southwest Harbor Public Library invite you to attend a Garden and House Tour “A Festival of Flowers on Mount Desert Island, Maine” Sunday, July 26, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., rain or shine. For 20 years the library has been bringing the special pleasure of visiting local private gardens to the public, this year featuring six lovely gardens strung along the shore from Southwest Harbor to Manset, to Bass Harbor and up to West Tremont. .
