Eastern Shore Habitat for Humanity Small Garden Tour

This year’s Small Garden Tour is located mainly on Chincoteague Island. In very small spaces on the island, eight gardens feature flood tolerant plants, planted berms, a Japanese garden room, whimsical garden sheds set along a creek, and much more.  Just off the island, the garden of Terry Thomas, owner of Thomas Gardens Nursery, highlights plantings of both native and exotic plants.

Tickets for $20 will be available at each garden the day of the tour.  Tickets may be purchased in advance for the two weeks prior to the tour for $15 at Shore Banks, BB&T Banks, PNC Banks, and Thomas Gardens.

A quick lunch of a “Southern gourmet” sandwich, salad, dessert and drink, all for $8, is available at home #2, 3616 Main Street.  Sit on the Bakely’s front porch or in the gazebo across the street on the channel.  Proceeds go to Emmanuel Jenkins Bridge Episcopal Church.
