Through the Garden Gate

On Saturday, May 12th, embark on a relaxing staycation with Through the Garden Gate garden tour with the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb County. Explore the private gardens and projects of Master Gardeners, all within the confines of east and central Cobb County. Also featured with this event is the Garden Party and Plant Sale, which will include local artisans and growers, children’s crafts, local organizations, and demonstrations. Master Gardeners will be on site at the gardens and the plant sale to answer any questions.

 Enjoy the unique styles and designs of seven different gardens, each with its own set of challenges and triumphs. Whether you simply want to take in the breathtaking beauty, get inspiration for your own landscape, or learn more about gardening, there’s something for everyone. This year will also feature a photography contest, with winning photos being published in the Cobb Dibbler.
