The Camden Garden Club’s 76th annual Garden Tour is set to take place, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 18.
This year’s tour will feature the interior and gardens of the 1887 summer “Castle by the Sea,” which became The Norumbega Inn. In addition, there will be other Camden gardens featuring perennial borders, color combinations for the garden, and sustainable horticulture with native plantings.
For the first time, the 66-acre Merryspring Nature Center will be a part of the tour, with its display gardens and arboretum of native trees.
A selection of immersive exhibits and demonstrations will be presented throughout the day. Sample presentations include Framed Flower Art, Hypertufa Demonstration, Dahlia Workshop, Active Native Plant Growing, and From Seed to Bottle: Making Salve from an Organic Maine Garden.
The club will host a roster of new and returning musicians. Performance locations and exhibit times will be announced before tour day.
En plein air painter, Cassie Sarno, will be the featured artist. Further detailed information about our artists and exhibitors will be featured in the coming weeks.
