gardens in the North end of the village (north of 29th Street). The<BR>
enthusiasm is palpable as many new gardens will be on the tour this<BR>
year along with established favorites in the neighborhood. Join us<BR>
for the tour which includes many water features, an award winning<BR>
wildlife habitat, and long-term plant collections from more than<BR>
twenty-five charming private and community gardens.<BR>
<BR>
The self-guided tour gives garden enthusiasts the opportunity to<BR>
observe private gardens of varied design in a Victorian neighborhood<BR>
near the Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Museum of Art.<BR>
While some gardens are professionally designed and maintained, most<BR>
have evolved over the years and contain many inspirational ideas.<BR>
<BR>
A most welcome feature this year is the informal "beer garden"<BR>
provided by the newly established Peabody Heights Brewery. Another<BR>
new feature is the Bay-Wise Maryland certification of several<BR>
gardens. The gardens will be open for viewing 11am - 4pm Sunday June<BR>
3rd.<BR>
