On Friday, June 28, a group of more than 25 members of the MWC Garden Group and the Friday Walking Group will head to Newport, RI to take part in the fantastic Newport Secret Garden Tour. Long a favorite of garden lovers from all over New England and beyond, depending on the year, between eight and ten gardens from some of the finest homes and locations in Newport will be open to the public, hence the name Secret Garden Tour.
Following their tour, many member of the groups will be going to the Newport Yacht Club for lunch where one of our club’s members who is a member of the NYC will act as their hostess.
As to the proceeds from the SGT, this comes from the SGT’s homepage: “Secret Garden Tours is looking forward to the next quarter century of being able to use the proceeds from our tours to support arts and cultural programs for Aquidneck Island public schools.”
It should certainly be a beautiful day all of these garden lovers . . . let’s just hope that the weather cooperates!
