Event

Secret Garden Tour

The twelfth annual Secret Garden Tour sponsored by the Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter in Newport is set for Sunday, June 28, from 12-5 pm. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water.

Tour participants will go on a self-guided adventure to several gardens in Makai and Waldport on the central Oregon coast.

This year's gardens include a garden with a unique view of the Alsea Bay and Bridge, as well as a lovely terraced rose garden. Other gardens highlight unusual features like a fire pit sitting area, a greenhouse with Carnivorous Pitcher plants, and spectacular garden art.

This special event provides an opportunity to see lovely gardens that normally are enjoyed only by the owners and their friends and family. From the casual weekend gardener to the serious hobbyist, all gardeners can be inspired by what they see.

The monies raised from this event benefit the Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter, the only homeless family shelter on the central Oregon coast between Tillamook and Coos Bay. Its mission is to shelter, educate, and guide homeless families with children towards independent living.
