This year’s Pocket Garden Tour takes you to Portsmouth's Goodwin Park neighborhood. Once homes for laborers of local shoe manufacturing, the buildings date back to 1758. Plantings provide owners beauty from the sidewalk to backyard retreats. Ranging from classic to eclectic, gardens showcase the work of professionals and amateurs alike and include container gardening, native pollinator plantings, and hidden relaxing retreats. An easy one-mile walk with lots to see in eleven privately owned gardens along with the outdoor space of historic house museums. Musicians, artists, and garden educators are included along this self-guided tour.
The 33rd annual tour runs Friday, June 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, June 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Rain or shine!
