The Ivoryton Library is thrilled to be able to offer its third House and Garden Tour:

Through the Garden Gate

Saturday June 16, 2012
10:00am - 4:00pm


June in New England is nowhere as beautiful as in the gardens of the villages of Ivoryton and Centerbrook as the grace of spring gives way to the lushness of summer.
This tour is unique in that it features gardens which, for the most part, have been created and maintained by the owners.
Our Garden Tour gives you not only an
opportunity to stroll through eight of these gardens but the homes of their owners, displaying their interior design talent as well.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, May 8 at the library and at Gather of Ivoryton.
Call 860-767-1252 for more information
