The Abingdon
Garden Club is proud to announce that their 18th Garden
Tour will be held on Saturday, June 17th, from 10 a.m. - 5p.m., rain or shine.
Tickets are $10.00 per person and will be on sale starting June 1st
at various downtown Abingdon businesses, including Greer Jewelers at 253 W.
Main Street, and Necessities at 266 W. Main Street. You can also pick up
tickets the day of the tour at the Visitors Center, 335 Cummings Street or at

This year
there will be seven gardens open to the public for a leisurely, self-guided
tour which will feature: outdoor kitchen entertainment centers, horse paddocks,
a pond with cascading waterfall, a running creek, hardscapes and patios with
specimen trees and an abundance of beautiful flowers, plus the butterfly garden
at Eberhardt Park. The home of William and Kristy Davis will also be open for
guests to view their first floor.
Proceeds
from the event will go toward purchasing plants and flowers for the community
to enjoy at Eberhardt Park, the Blue Star Memorial, the Shakespearean Garden at
the William King Museum of Art, and the Cancer Center at Johnston Memorial
Hospital.
The Abingdon
Garden Club was formed in 1927 and has continually been involved in community
education and beautification.
Please come

our Garden Tour.
