The Secret Garden (Tour)

Tom received a forwarded email from Arrowhead Dental Associates since he is the go-to person for the upcoming events calendar on the blog.  He wanted to write something about this event, but was so busy he turned it over to me.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find much information; but I will share what I was able to gather.  (Maybe this is one of those events that everyone knows about so there isn’t much advertising.)
                                                                                                                       
From the Arrowhead Dental Associates email:


As many of our patients know when visiting Arrowhead Dental, the landscaped grounds and views from the operatories are exceptional.  We have Dr. Gouin to thank for this as landscaping is one of his hobbies.

On June 11, 2011, Dr.Gouin's home garden will be one of 12 gardens featured in the Richmond Country Gardens Tour.  Ticket proceeds go to support the Clark Memorial Library.

If you would like to visit some great gardens, you can purchase an advanced ticket for $15.00 at the Clark Memorial Library, www.clarklib.org.
7 Pinehurst Drive, Carolina, RI 02812
or a printable ticket request form is available on their website at

For more information, please call the library at (401) 364-6100.


I checked the Clark Library website and did not find much additional information.  Here is a link to the ticket form.  Yikes!  The form states that the deadline for ordering advance tickets is June 4!!!  I called the library and received a little further clarification for you.  The deadline for ordering tickets TO BE MAILED TO YOU is June 4.  You can still submit the form for advance tickets and pick them up at the library or you can purchase tickets for $20.00 instead of $15.00 the day of the event.

So, mark your calendar and consider spending some time on Saturday, June 11, 10 AM to 4 PM touring some lovely area gardens. (Rain date is Sunday, June 12)
