(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- On Saturday June 12 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, you are invited to step past the frontage and explore the plants and blooms of some of the Cape May area’s natural areas and most dedicated gardeners. You can see both public and private gardens and take home ideas for your own gardens. Smell and see what’s blooming and flourishing in several different seashore locations dominated by sunlight, ocean breezes, sand and salt, but each uniquely situated. Cape May’s Emlen Physick Estate gardens are included, as well as the The Nature Conservancy’s Garrett Family Preserve.

The grounds of the Emlen Physick Estate will host nature and garden-themed local vendors, plus a complimentary wine tasting by Cape May Winery. Admission is $20. Maps and tickets will be available the day of the tour outside on the grounds of the Physick Estate, 1048 Washington Street. Visit capemaymac.org for more information on gardens and on purchasing tickets in advance or call 609-884-5404.
