The dates for the 3 garden tours supporting the 
Cape Cod Museum of Natural History’s KidSummer Scholarship Programs are:


Tuesday, July 11, 2017   10am - 4pm ~ 
Serendipitous Hideaway   Brewster, MA 02631

Come explore a garden hideaway on the historic 
site of a former Bell System phone switching 
station. The grounds are bursting with texture, 
color, and seasonal blooms! Inspired by classic 
Romantic English gardening, this stunning 
landscape paradise features many varieties of 
hosta, native plants and grasses, trees, shrubs, 
and vines paired with unique decorative touches. 
Meet the geese; watch the koi as you wander the 
rare, hard-to-find highlights of the garden that 
include a multitude of Hydrangea varieties. The 
garden is designed to bring year-round interest 
to every window, with winter as interesting as 
the summer. Expansive, one-of-a-kind absolutely 
amazing garden nurtured for 17 years.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017 10am - 4pm ~ Tranquil 
Labyrinth Among the Gardens Brewster, MA 02631

Back by popular demand! Take a woodland walk thru 
shade and native plants to a 7-circuit labyrinth
15 years in the making! Other gardens along this 
walk feature a butterfly garden, a purple weeping 
beech arbor leading to a fragrant garden, glacial 
outcroppings, and formal parterres with a koi and 
goldfish pond. Don’t miss curated collections of 
the owner’s favorite plants, including the fiery 
Japanese maples, specimen evergreens, hydrangeas, 
perennials, hostas, and daylilies all surrounding 
quiet seating areas. A marvel!

Saturday, July 15, 2017 10am-4pm ~ Lyn Peabody 
Wildflower Garden Brewster, MA 02631

The Lyn Peabody Wildflower Garden was established 
by the Nauset Garden Club in 1987. With the 
cooperation and encouragement of the Cape Cod 
Museum of Natural History, the Wildflower Garden 
has flourished through the years and continues to 
be maintained by the Nauset Garden Club. 
Annually, they have added new native plants and 
shrubs to the Garden and plan to establish a new 
part of the Garden this year through a generous 
gift from a former Club member. Come see the new, 
the unusual, and the very native plants! This is 
a rare opportunity for a guided tour of the 
garden with docents from the Garden Club who will 
be available to answer all your questions.


The Museum deeply appreciates the generous garden 
owners and caretakers willing to share their 
creative, horticultural visions in support of our 
mission: To inspire appreciation, understanding 
and stewardship of our natural environment through discovery and learning.
