Master Gardeners Continue Tour de Gardens

 Tour de Gardens is an annual self-guided tour of beautiful vegetable, perennial, water and annual gardens of all shapes and sizes throughout Tioga County. It's sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension's Master Gardener Program, and will be held Sunday, July 27, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. A reception follows by the stunning water gardens at Tioga Gardens, 2217 Route 17C, Owego.

 Advance tickets go on sale for $6.00 per person in July and will be available at East of the Sun, West of the Moon and the Tioga County Tourism Office (both on Front Street in Owego) as well as Cornell Cooperative Extension at 56 Main Street, Owego, phone 687-4020. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the event at Tioga Gardens from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.

 You'll get a map of the gardens on the tour and will be placed in a drawing to be held at the Tioga Gardens' reception when you buy your ticket. All proceeds from the event will provide support for the Master Gardener program and community gardening projects in Tioga County.
