Three Stops Along the Garden Tour [VIDEO]
The Monroe Historical Society's Garden Tour will highlight five gardens on June 30.
Spring is a time when many homeowners feel pride over their green thumbs and plant a colorful array of flowers, ornamental trees and bushes. Then there are the rows of fresh vegetables from tomatoes and cucumbers to pumpkins. But gardening isn't everything. Sometimes the presentation can make all the difference.
The Monroe Historical Society's Garden Tour will show off the garden on the grounds of the historic Eliot Beardsley Homestead at 31 Great Ring Road, as well as four private gardens in town on Saturday, June 30, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Tickets cost $15 a piece and the proceeds will be used to maintain historical town buildings, including the Beardsley Homestead, The East Village-Barn Hill Schoolhouse and The East Village Meetinghouse.
