Summerside Garden Tour
Eighteen gardens showcased throughout the summer
After a six-year break, the Summerside and Area Garden Club is bringing back its Summer Garden Tour. Eighteen gardens will be showcased on Sunday afternoons from 1–4 pm throughout the summer.
The tour kicks off July 6 with visits to the gardens of Roberta Gaudet (30 Townsend Cres, Traveller’s Rest), Guy Jacquart (111 Hillside Dr, Summerside), Carol Capper (657 Water St E, Summerside), Sandy Gallant (117 Bay Ave, Summerside), and Serenity Gardens—Alan and Heather Thorpe (45 South Dr, Summerside).
Tours are free and open to all. A donation box will be available at one location each week, with proceeds supporting the maintenance and enhancement of the Prince County Hospital courtyard garden—a space the Club has lovingly cared for over 20 years. Nearly every time volunteers are in the garden, someone—whether staff, patient, or visitor—stops to say how peaceful and healing the space is, and expresses their thanks for the efforts of the Club’s volunteers.
Tours continue on Sundays until August 3, with gardens featured in Summerside, Traveller’s Rest, Union Corner, Wellington, Tyne Valley, Bayview, Kensington, and more.
The Summerside and Area Garden Club meets on the third Thursday of each month at the Wilmot Community Centre. New members are always welcome. For more information, follow on Facebook, email summersidegardenclub@gmail.com, or call 902-786-1348.
