Some of Lawrence’s unique gardens will be on display June 4 and 5 as part of the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners garden tour.

The event will showcase six private gardens around Lawrence, with each one exhibiting a different style and personality. Among the gardens are a backyard water garden, an enchanted garden and a smart garden complete with worm farm and other timesaving ideas.

The tours are open to the public. Tickets are $10 when purchased on the day of the tour or $8 when purchased in advance from local garden centers or the K-State Research and Extension – Douglas County, 2110 Harper St.

In addition to the garden tours, educational presentations are also scheduled at the K-State Research and Extension – Douglas County.
