Garden Tour at Theatre By The Sea

Description

Dana Millar of Dana Designs, West Kingston, RI, the steward of the gardens at the historic Theatre By The Sea, will conduct a garden tour on Saturday, August 21st at 10:00am.

Originally designed in 1988 by landscape designer Louis Raymond and with the 2010 annuals display designed and generously donated by Highland Farm in South Kingstown, RI, the abundant gardens at Theatre By The Sea have been meticulously maintained by Dana Designs for the past two years.

Cooled by breezes from Block Island Sound, the lush seaside gardens embrace the historic theatre complex from the front porch and gazebo area, down the unique 240 foot long arbor walk, to the rolling lawns surrounding the restaurant. Over 300 varieties of perennials, grasses, shrubs and climbing plants offer a magical, ever-changing environment for flower lovers of all ages.

The complimentary garden tour, which will last approximately 60 minutes, will be conducted rain or shine beginning at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 21, 2010. The tour will examine topics in the world of gardening. Those wishing to attend the tour are encouraged to call to confirm. Participants should meet in the newly redesigned gazebo area adjacent to the theatre on the grounds at Theatre By The Sea located at 364 Cards Pond Road, Matunuck, RI.
