2020 Bittersweet Garden Tour CANCELLED

     Regrettably, we have cancelled the 21st Annual Bittersweet Garden Tour due to COVID-19 and the ongoing social-distancing requirements. It's hard to know what things will look like by the end of June, but in an abundance of caution and out of concern for everyone's safety, we feel it's best to cancel for this year. 

     The good news? We had five wonderful gardens slated for this year's tour and all five homeowners have agreed to be on tour next year, so you won't miss a thing!

     Thank you for your interest in the tour and we hope to see you in 2021. In the mean time, stay safe and stay healthy!
