The tour, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, is a self-guided driving tour of gardens across Putnam County. 

A total of 12 gardens from across Putnam County are needed for this year’s event. 

This annual garden tour fundraiser supports programs and services for children and adults with autism, disabilities and special needs.

Tour organizers are looking for unique, memorable and special gardens to profile for this year’s fundraiser. 

“Building on the success of our past garden tours, we are in need of new and exciting gardens to showcase for this year’s Putnam County Secret Garden Tour fundraiser,” said Rand Bridget Otten, director of Development for Partners with PARC. “With the support of our Putnam County friends and neighbors, we hope to expand our tour and include gardens that are rarely seen and off the beaten path.” 

Tour organizers are looking for formal gardens, charming country gardens, water gardens, alpine gardens, perennial flowering landscapes, rose gardens and much more.

All garden owners on this year’s tour will be given a trip for four to Cancun, Mexico (accommodations only, for 5 days/4 nights) as an incentive for being on the tour. 

To make an appointment to have a garden visited by the Putnam County Secret Garden Tour organizers, please call 845-278-7272, ext. 2287 or email garden photos to rand_otten@putnamarc.org.
