Art in the Garden 2008

Wednesday, June 18, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm (rain date June 19)

The theme for this year's self-paced tour is "Secret Gardens of Falmouth." Each of the eight private gardens on this tour give a sense of entering a special world hidden from sight until the viewer is invited in. Organizers have chosen a garden down a private lane, a fenced garden within a garden entered through rose covered arches, gardens artfully concealed behind trees and large shrubs, and gardens hidden by the contours of the land or on back roads.

Art in the Garden co-chair Charlotte Harris invites garden lovers to "Come discover the hidden beauty lovingly and imaginatively created by gardeners and artists on the less well-traveled roads of Falmouth." Harris continues, "Gardening, painting with watercolors, oils and pastels, jewelry making and photography are all expressive art forms. Art in the Garden celebrates art in mid-June-the peak of the gardening season for lovers of roses, delphinium, peonies and fox gloves."

Art in the Garden tickets include garden descriptions, locations and directions for a self-paced tour. Ticket holders can begin at any of the gardens, proceed in any order, and stop at as many locations as they wish for as long as they like between the hours of 9:30 and 4:30. Participants can also converse with the artists as they create their works. Artwork will be available for purchase.

Individual tickets cost $25 if purchased by June 4; thereafter tickets are $30 per person. The number of tickets available is limited. Advance tickets will be sold at Inkwell Bookstore in Falmouth beginning May 1. Tickets will be sold on the day of the event starting at 8:00 am at the Unitarian Universalist meetinghouse at 840 Sandwich Road in East Falmouth. For more information on tickets, call the church office, 540-457-0449 Mondays through Fridays between 9 a.m. and noon.
