GARDEN TOUR:
Four of Cobb County’s finest residents have graciously opened their gardens for the 21st Annual Garden Tour (May 18, 2024, from 9am-4pm) to showcase how we can protect our pollinators. Let our docents take you through semi-tropical paradises, rows of rhododendrons, zen gardens, woodlands full of natives, and quiet spaces for pollinators and people alike. Stop by two MGVOCC projects as well – The William Root House in Marietta to walk through history and The Wellness Garden at the Cobb County Farm Bureau to learn how to grow fresh produce. Tickets ($21 in advance; $25 the day of the Tour) can be purchased as of March 1 at cobbmastergardeners. com. Children 17 and under are free.
