The gardens are blooming in Leelanau County – and it’s time to hit the ground (literally) for a tour!
The Little Garden Club invites you to visit six inspiring Leelanau Peninsula gardens from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 26. The six homes feature sprawling gardens, stunning homes and you-can’t-help-but-stop-and-smell roses.
The blooms and beauty bring the “wow,” but don’t forget that you also get the thrill of driving the peninsula and seeing the orchards, farms, and water views along the way as well.
Here are the details:
Tickets are $20 and are available from club members, as well as from the following locations:
- Empire: Greystone Gardens
- Glen Arbor: Northwoods Hardware
- Leland: Leelanau Books, Old Art Building, Two Fish Gallery
- Northport: Pennington Collection
- Suttons Bay: The Front Porch, Plantmasters
- Traverse City: Four Seasons Nursery, Garden Goods, Pine Hill Village Gardens
A limited number of tickets will also be available at each garden site and at the Old Art Building on the day of the tour. The Garden Tour is a rain or shine event! Cash or checks only.
But wait, there’s more!
In addition to the Garden Tour, the “Art of the Garden” exhibit will be held at the Old Art Building in Leland and admission to the exhibit is included for Garden Tour ticket holders on June 26 starting at 11 a.m.
Plein Air Artists will be in the gardens during the tour, and their art will be featured and available for purchase during the “Art of the Garden” exhibit, which is open to the public from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. June 27 -July 4 and is free to view.
All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Little Garden Club’s grants program which supports public garden beautification and plant education projects throughout Leelanau County.
