The Point Roberts Garden Club will showcase nine unique gardens in the 12th Point Roberts Garden Tour this Sunday.
The self-guided tour will take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and includes tea and home baked goods from 1 to 4 p.m. at historic Trinity Lutheran Church.
Gardens on this year's tour include a sun-loving seaside escape, a park-like retreat on 4.5 acres, an "Arts & Crafts" garden and more.
Garden experts will be available to answer questions from 1 to 4 p.m. at the tea.
There will also be a drawing for a quilt donated by the Point Roberts Quilters Group.
Now that the event is bi-annual, this year's tour has been eagerly awaited by visitors and locals alike. Ticket prices have been held at $15 (US or CDN) per person and are available at the Blue Heron Gallery and Nielson's Home Building Center in Point Roberts or Harris Nursery locations in Delta.
Visitors are reminded that a passport or enhanced driver's licence is required to cross the border.
Tickets will also be available on the day of the tour up until 2 p.m. at 79 Tyee Dr. (on the right shortly after crossing the border into Point Roberts) and at the Blue Heron Gallery, 1360 Gulf Rd.
No tickets will be sold after 2 p.m. in order to give visitors enough time to tour the gardens.
Each ticket includes a map of Point Roberts clearly marked with the locations of the tour gardens, the afternoon tea, and restaurants for those who wish to have lunch.
More information about the tour is available on the garden club's website,
www.pointrobertsgardenclub.org, and on its Facebook page.
