WOLF COVE INN ON GARDEN TOUR

The Seventh Annual Lewiston-Auburn Garden tour, sponsored by the Maine Music Society is scheduled for Saturday, July 14 (yes…the same day as our annual meeting!) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year the tour includes our own Wolf Cove Inn as well as gardens in L-A.
Rose Aikman has designed her gardens to take full advantage of the view of the lake. The garden is sunny and inviting; she concentrates on perennials using as few annuals as possible. Paths wend their way to benches surrounded by gardens in soft colors. Each area is dominated by a particular color: white, blue and purple. White flowers appear throughout, tying all the gardens together. Daylilies, delphinium, Chinese poppies and irises from the Bernard McLaughlin gardens are featured.
Other gardens on the tour are Roy Farnsworth’s "Till Hill" in Auburn, Cyndy Bell’s on Riverside Drive in Auburn, Alan and Vivian Merritt’s Lake Side Farm and Lois Wagner’s and Cynthia Clifford’s neighboring gardens in Lewiston. Each offers a different type of garden.
For more information and tickets, call the Society at 782-1403. Tickets will be $10 in advance, $12 on the day of the tour. They’ll be on sale in July at Austin’s Fine Wines & Food, The Ivy Cottage, Mr. Paperback, Roak the Florist, Provencher Landscape Nursery and other locations.

Artists and budding artists are invited to set up their easels and paint in one of the gardens…just bring your art supplies.
