Irvington Garden Tour Escape. Experience. Enjoy.
"What a peaceful place" "I wish that was my yard" "Did you see the size of those flowers?"
Perhaps those were your comments --- maybe not, but being a little bit nosey, we love to ease drop on the remarks of those attending our annual garden tours.
Throughout the past decade, our guests have had the opportunity to walk shaded paths, witness the flashing shadows of overhead branches, and maybe; if one was nearby, sit on a garden bench.
Others have felt the cooling effect of a fountain or gazed into a plant-filled pond and wondered why the koi fish within had grown so big while theirs had not. Undoubtedly, someone on journey said, "I've got to get one of those."
Walking slowly, so as not to disturb a monarch butterfly, they delighted in the pleasing color combinations of flower pots on a patio and paused at a "Honey Perfume" rose to smell the spicy fragrance of it's orange-yellow blooms. Delicious!
Since our first tour in 2000, we've highlighted the best gardens in historic Irvington. This year's eight gardens were no exception.
Thus, as of now, the ticket tables have been taken away and our promotional signs stored until next June.
Next year, it's your turn to join us. Yes, Escape. Experience. Enjoy.
