The Camden Garden Club will hold its 77th Garden Tour on July 16, 2026 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., rain or shine. Tickets for this event are $40 each. They are available at camdengardenclub.org until 8 p.m. on July 15, or on the day of the Tour at American Legion Post 30, 91 Pearl Street, Camden, beginning at 9 a.m. On-line ticket purchasers will pick up their program and wristband at the American Legion as well.
The six privately owned gardens in Camden and Rockport represent a diverse offering of landscaping, hardscaping and cultivation in shade, sun, woods and ocean-front locations. Master Gardeners will be ready to answer questions in each garden, and some owners will be present to discuss their visions and work process.
The day will also include two demonstrations at one location in Camden. At 11 a.m., Gabrielle Jansen of Firebird Farm will explain how to create three-dimensional art from dried flowers. At 1:30 p.m., Master Gardener Linda Redman will demonstrate how to create “twiggy things” including arbors, gates, and other items from branches and other material commonly found in many Maine back yards.
Plein air artist Cassie Sano of Augusta, Maine will paint at one of the properties throughout the day, capturing the spirit of the garden and the sky. Her painting, as well as the material produced by Ms. Jansen and Ms. Redman, will be raffled off to tour participants. All raffle proceeds will benefit the Camden Garden Club’s Scholarship Fund.
This event is generously sponsored by the Camden Deli, the Villager Café, The Owl & Turtle Bookshop Café, and Sea Bags Camden.
