Secret Garden Tour 2012

>>click here for link to tour Secrets<<

Gardening ideas abound as you tour a variety of select gardens in this most quaint and historic town. You’ll see why Charles Dickens came to Lebanon IL to see the “Looking Glass Prairie” when you visit Lebanon’s 2012 Secret Gardens on June 9th from 9 AM to 3 PM. 

Step back in time and enjoy several gardens complementing Lebanon’s homes—from 19th Century Victorian to vintage 1930’s manors—from mid-century modern to current day. You will think you are walking in Henry Shaw’s Missouri Botanical Garden as you view quiet and serene shade gardens under stately century-old oaks as well as stroll on well-manicured lawns among hundreds of varieties of annuals and prize perennials, several of which are rare and/or uncommon in this area.

After a fun an inspiring time with family and friends, foodies may want to linger longer and complete the day the day with an English-style afternoon tea, a glass of wine, sandwich, or an old-fashioned ice cream from one of many wonderful eateries.  Perhaps you may also desire to browse the many antique, curio, boutique, flower, and garden shops!
