Stroll through the historic Borough of Stonington and experience the beauty hidden beyond its garden gates. Explore waterfront vistas, formal terraced rooms, and enchanted pocket gardens designed in styles ranging from formal to eclectic. The tour will showcase 12 gardens, 8 of which have never been on a tour before. An added attraction is a tented Marketplace on Wadawanuck Square, featuring 31 vendors offering garden-inspired items, clothing, jewelry, and home decor. You will also find our new cookbook, Nature's Bounty, for sale.  To celebrate our centennial, and as a part of our Native Plant Project, the club invested in our gardens and transformed them with native plantings. Both the public community gardens and the COMO Children's Learning Garden, an excellent example of regenerative farming, may be enjoyed as a part of the tour.​ This year, many gardens will feature an on-site educator such as a Master Gardener, horticulturist, or landscape designer, who will share insights and answer questions. Additionally, "plein air" artists will be painting in selected gardens.
