Gardens by the Sea Garden Tour

Gardens by the Sea (June 12 & 13, 10-4 both days) is a self-guided garden tour through the historic Borough of Stonington in Southeastern CT. Experience the beauty hidden beyond its picturesque garden gates and explore waterfront vistas, terraced landscapes, and enchanted pocket gardens, designed in styles ranging from formal to eclectic. Stonington Garden Club tours are distinctive for botanical plant labels, and this year, many gardens will feature an on-site educator, such as a Master Gardener, horticulturist, or landscape designer, who will share insights and answer questions. "Plein Air" artists will be painting in selected gardens. All gardens are within walking distance, and free parking will be available. In addition, there will be a tented Marketplace on Wadawanuck Square featuring a wide variety of vendors offering garden-inspired items, clothing, jewelry, and home decor.
