JOIN A CELEBRATION OF GARDENS IN SANDWICH 

 

Tour two beautiful gardens in Sandwich on Wednesday, July 15 anytime between
10am and 4pm in conjunction with the week- long Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival.
Tour the "Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden" at the Green Briar Nature
Center at 6 Discovery Hill Road in East Sandwich and the "Hidden Garden" of
Bob King and Tobin Wirt at Summer Street in Sandwich Village.  Expect
flowers and hydrangeas galore!  Both gardens are festival favorites.  

At Green Briar learn what makes a garden grow with experts on hand.  Green
Briar's herb and cottage gardens will also be on display with ongoing guided
tours of the wildflower garden.  Green Briar will also be hosting a "Summer
Garden Plant Sale" offering native wildflowers, trees, shrubs, berries and
beach plums!   Green Briar's unique Mercantile will also be open for outside
sales of jams, jellies, books, and a wide variety of nature-related items.

The "Hidden Garden" in the village features dahlias of many shades, layers
of morning glories, many different perennials and annuals as well as several
examples of hydrangeas in shades of pink to deep purple. Here also is the
kitchen garden, a display ready for summertime eating.  From the street, the
charm and blooms are secluded, hidden behind a tall hedge, making this a
secret spot.

Admission to tour each garden is $5.  Tickets are available on the day of
the tour at Green Briar along with a map and directions to the private home
garden in the village.  All proceeds benefit the Thornton Burgess Green
Briar Nature Center and maintenance of its award-winning wildflower garden.

  In keeping with Covid-19 precautions, masks will be required.  For further
details, call Green Briar at 508-888-6870 or visit the website at
