For the second year in a row, people can take a self-guided tour through residential gardens in the Historic Court Chemeketa District on Saturday and Sunday.
The annual fundraiser for the Lord & Schryver Conservancy runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and cost $20 per person. They are free for kids under 16.
The self-guided tour is the successor to the popular garden tours run by Gilbert House Children’s Museum for 21 years.
“We are excited to hold our inaugural garden tour with the cooperation of the Northeast Neighborhood Association” said Pam Wasson, executive director of the Lord & Schryver Conservancy, in a statement.
“We have identified nine private gardens that are truly special. From a nature scape with native and edible plants to a shady, art-filled retreat, there is sure to be something to inspire each visitor,” Wasson said.
