The Garden Tour Fundraiser is coming!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 20th. Twelve friends and neighbors of the Library are busy preparing to open their garden gates to Library supporters!

The biennial Garden Tour is a self-guided experience held rain or shine between the hours of 10am and 4pm on Saturday, June 20th. Fill a car with friends and take a leisurely road trip through our own back yard to learn from and and admire unique specimens, native plants, ponds and charming outbuildings, and more!

Tickets are on sale now, with a cost of $30 each - all proceeds benefit the Cross' Mills Public Library. If you've borrowed books, movies, magazines or museum passes; if you've come to a movie, a concert, a craft class, or a lecture, thank a gardener! Tickets may be purchased in-person at the Library with cash or check, and can also be ordered online through our website via PayPal, Venmo, or credit card. Digital tickets are emailed in weekly batches.

Please direct any questions to [email protected], or give us a call.
