SECRET GARDENS OF THE KENNEBUNK

Saturday, July 13, 10 AM. Secret Garden Tour of the Kennebunks. We are very pleased to announce that Graves Library's Secret Gardens of the Kennebunks will be held again on Saturday, July 13, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (rain or shine). Six homeowners have agreed to open their private gardens for this one day only to help raise money for the Library. Tickets are $40 each, and they can be purchased in advance on Eventbrite via the link above or at the Library at 18 Maine Street. "Day-of" tickets will only be available for sale at Consolidated School. On the day of the event, ticket holders should begin at Kennebunkport Consolidated School, 25 School Street, to pick up their map and any instructions. A detailed map revealing the secret locations of the six participating properties will be provided to all ticket holders on the day of the tours. Visitors will be treated to a wide variety of garden styles and plant types amid lovely natural settings hidden from view behind stone walls, seaside cottages, and privacy hedges. Volunteers will be located at each garden to help with questions and where to park. This year, we are also offering a special addition to the tour. If you are looking for a delicious option for lunch, our friends from Texas Grace will be here with their food truck. We encourage you to use the bathrooms and shop at our pop-up garden boutique. Other bathroom options are located behind Alisson's Restaurant in Dock Square. All proceeds for this event benefit the Graves Memorial Public Library. Please call us with any questions.
