Sandy Spring Museum | Garden Club Tour

Garden Club Tour

The Sandy Spring Museum holds their biennial Garden Tour every other year. Enjoy remarkable, private gardens in the Layhill/Ashton area, as well as the garden of Garden Gate Landscaping, a national award-winning company--all will be awash with color, unusual plantings, and brimming with design ideas both traditional and contemporary. Owners are on site for first-hand tips and to answer questions, and local artists painting en plein air will further enhance the lovely settings.

The Sandy Spring Museum Garden Club has been entertaining and educating a very loyal following for over a decade with our May garden tour. Every other year we fulfill our promise to share a diverse selection of gardens that offer a little something for everyone. Guests have been able to stroll through authentic Japanese gardens, envy the peonies in an English garden, appreciate a homestead lifestyle that integrated edible landscaping, view a cut flower operation, and meander through numerous rose gardens, acres of perennials, woodland gardens, stone sculptures, beautiful hardscapes, pergolas, landscaped ponds, and lovely greenhouses.

All proceeds from the Garden Tour are used to landscape the museum grounds. Club members pitch in with planning and running the garden tour to ensure its continued success. On our next tour, plan to experience a very special day and bring your friends and/or your spouse. Our tour promises an exceptional opportunity to see some unique plantings and acquire some firsthand tips from our gracious garden owners.

Our next tour will be in May 2013. We will look forward to seeing you there. If you would like more information, please call the museum, 301-774-0022. If you are interested in helping out then, we would welcome you onto various tour subcommittees – tickets, promotion, lunches, garden selection, volunteers, hospitality, mailings, and sponsors. We welcome everyone’s support and participation, we can eagerly anticipate fun and successful garden tours in 2013 and for years to come.
