The Secret Garden Tour in Brown County the 11th and 12th of July

Just wanted to to drop you a note about the Secret Garden tour in Brown County, Indiana taking place July 11 & 12th.
 
The tour features gardens that are not usually open to the public. It is sponsored by the garden club and is one of their major fundraisers for the year. The garden club uses the proceeds to fund projects like landscaping for Habitat for Humanity homes. It is a driving tour featuring 5 gardens throughout Brown County.
 
We are very excited to be the first working garden featured on the tour!

We are planning to offer walking tours of the farm on the hour. The tour will include not only the gardens but an introduction to our pastured poultry and the egg mobile, a stop at the apiary, a visit with our heritage cattle herd, the haflingers & Shetland sheep and a chance to feed a biscuit to our critically rare Red Wattle Hogs. We are looking forward to this great opportunity to re-aquaint folks with family farming and where their food comes from. 
 
Tickets are available from the Brown County Visitors and Convention Bureau all week or from a garden club member or they may be purchased the day of the tour at any of the garden stops. Below is the information from the Bureau's site with a link to the brochure.
