The Gardens of Lincoln County Tour will return on Saturday, June 21, offering a full day of exploring beautiful private gardens. After a sold-out event last year, the 2025 tour will feature a fresh lineup of gardens in one of the most scenic spots in the county.

This self-guided tour will showcase a diverse range of gardens, including colorful flower beds, peaceful woodland paths, creative landscaping and stunning water views. These private gardens, typically not open to the public, offer a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and creativity of the region. Whether visitors are avid gardeners, casual plant enthusiasts or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, this event promises a memorable experience.

In addition to the gardens, several nearby historic sites will be open for visitors during the tour, thanks to a collaboration with the South Bristol Historical Society. These optional stops provide a chance to learn about the area’s history while exploring the local gardens.

Tickets are $35 for members and $40 for non-members. A limited number of tickets may be available on the day of the event for $45, but advance purchase is highly recommended. Visit the LCHA website at lincolncountyhistory.org/garden-tour.

Details about the featured gardens, including addresses, will be emailed to ticketholders on Friday, June 20.

Proceeds from the tour support the Lincoln County Historical Association and its work to preserve and share local history. The event is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Sherri Dunbar of Tim Dunham Realty.
