SUMMER 2009 12th ANNUAL SECRET GARDEN TOUR Sunday, July 12th 10am-3pm
Celebrate PAAM’s 12th Annual Secret Garden Tour on Sunday, July 12th with a double header garden experience. The day begins with a walking tour of twelve gorgeous Secret Gardens in Provincetown’s west end from 10am-3pm. Visitors are then invited to the Provincetown Art Association and Museum to tour the Art of the Garden, an exhibition of floral works in air-conditioned galleries. All proceeds from the event benefit PAAM exhibitions and educational programs.
For twelve years, the Secret Garden Tour has led guests through hidden stone paths and crooked wooden walkways into borders and beds of specimen plants, common and exotic flowers, and lush greenery. This year, the owners and tenders of twelve fragrant and visually stunning Provincetown gardens plan to welcome more than 500 visitors. The gardens selected represent the “best of the west,” as all are located in Provincetown’s beautiful west end, making the tour quite walkable from PAAM and nearby parking lots. Free parking has been provided at Benson, Young and Downs Insurance Agency and Gately-McHoul’s Funeral home, found at the end of Harry Kemp Way. A fleet of shuttle-cars will make continuous stops between the parking lots and gardens throughout the day.
Tickets to the Secret Garden Tour are just $30, and include admission to PAAM’s galleries for the Art of the Garden exhibition. This event continues to be a success year after year due in part to the kindness of more than fifty dedicated volunteers. All proceeds from the event support PAAM exhibitions and education programs. Please call 508.487.1750 to reserve tickets.
