The Times article in question talks about several garden tour events happening on the east coast around now, and Wilmington is one of them. Garden Day is not something I was prepared to blog about, because it's one of those things that sounds cool, but nobody I know would be able to afford $35 to see some home gardens. However, I'm impressed that the event made it into the NYT. So, I'll let the blurb tell you about it:
"DELAWARE
Wilmington, May 7 Fourteen private gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Wilmington Garden Day, including the grounds surrounding a 215-year-old farm house, which has a Royal Paulownia “forest,” a reproduction 17th-century boxwood garden, and a plein-air living room built into the ruins of an old barn. Another site on the tour features a garden with a Benjamin Franklin tree, several hosta cultivars, a Satomi Japanese dogwood and four crepe myrtles, as well as a perennials collection of coneflowers, clematis, dahlias and deutzias. Tickets, $35 at Janssen’s Market, 3801 Kennett Pike (Buck Road) in Greenville. Advance tickets, $30, and information by email to cindy.dunn@comcast.net and wilmingtongardenday.org."
