PAAM'S 16th Annual Secret Garden Tour
Sunday, July 14th, 10am-3pm
Gardening enthusiasts will enjoy this double header garden experience. The day begins with a self-guided walking tour of gorgeous secret gardens in Provincetown’s central east end—through hidden stone paths and crooked wooden walkways into borders and beds of specimen plants, common and exotic flowers, and lush greenery. The owners and tenders of fragrant and visually stunning Provincetown gardens plan to welcome many new and return visitors. Ticket-holders will receive a map and booklet with stories and details about each garden.
Visitors are then invited to PAAM at 460 Commercial Street to tour the Art of the Garden exhibition in air-conditioned galleries. All proceeds from the event benefit PAAM exhibitions and educational programs.
Free parking for the tour is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis at Benson, Young and Downs Insurance Agency and Gately-McHoul's Funeral Home, found at the end of Harry Kemp Way (click here for a link to Google maps). A fleet of shuttle-cars makes continuous stops between the parking lots and gardens throughout the day. This event continues to be a success year after year due in part to the kindness of more than fifty dedicated volunteers.
