For three Sundays in June, tours of the various gardens in Adams County will take place. The purpose of these tours is to share gardening ideas and answer questions, as each tour will have a Master Gardener present. The gardens to be visited will range in size from a lovely retirement community garden to a 1-½ acre woodland garden.
On Sunday, June 13th the Carroll Valley gardens tour boasts seven private gardens. Highlights of the following Sunday, June 20th at the Agricultural Center will include, a rain garden, native plant garden, and raised bed gardens, which are tended by Master Gardeners. The last Sunday garden tour on June 27th focuses on the Hanover Area, with a tour of the Warehime-Myers Mansion and Arboretum. Each tour is from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Tickets are $5 per Sunday or $10 for all three Sundays. Proceeds from the tours will go to Master Gardener programs, including the Master Gardener Scholarship that is awarded yearly to an Adams County high school student.
