32nd annual Garden Tour set at The War Memorial
The Grosse Pointe Garden Center’s next event is the 32nd annual Garden Tour on June 21 and June 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The War Memorial with the theme “Gardeners Create Community.”
“It’s been very successful over the years,” Candy Sweeny, co-president of the Grosse Pointe Garden Center, said. “We thought that Gardeners Create Community combines gardening and reaching out to the community so that people can see how other people garden, if there are native plants incorporated or pesticide free.”
The Center is a nonprofit organization with a mission to promote education, beautification, horticulture, and conservation in our community. It has operated from The War Memorial for over 70 years and currently has over 250 members.
Tickets for the tour are $15 in advance or $20 on the day of. For tickets, click here.
