Maine Musical Society's 15h Annual Garden & Home Tour
The Maine Music Society's 15th annual Garden & Home Tour will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, rain or shine.
This year's fundraising tour consists of seven locations including seven gardens and one home interior.
Participants include:
The Garden of Gerry and Pam Hamann of New Gloucester. The garden was conceived 30 years ago as the owners lived in the basement of their new home.
Today, that is hard to believe. The brick cape is completely surrounded by cottage gardens, adding charm to the property.
Walk through antique rod iron gates into a courtyard of roses and lilacs. Grapes hang down over marble columns near a millstone fountain.
Flowers adorn every corner. An ancient rock wall is now embedded with luscious moss and ferns.
Giant hostas in hues of blue and green catch your eye.
Brick pathways lead to a raised bed vegetable garden intermingled with flowers.
Other gardens on the tour include the home and garden of John and Doris Bonneau of Auburn; the home and garden of Richard Davenport and Kerry Eldridge of Auburn; the garden of Gordon Marshall of Auburn; the Garden of Jeanne Pacheco of Lewiston. And, the garden at Lewiston High School Memorial Courtyard Garden and the Garden of Dan and Sandy Marquis of Lewiston.
Tickets are $12 purchased in advance. They are available in late June through the L/AArts office at 72,7228; Provencher's Landscape and Nursery, Mr. Paperback, Ivy Cottage of Lewiston; Auburn Hannaford and Shaw's supermarkets.
Tickets at $14 will be available the day of the tour.
