A fairy castle at the Semple Family’s Cranberry Point House
LOVELL — The Lovell Historical Society plans to host a Garden Tour on Sunday, Aug. 1. Eight of Lovell’s finest flower and vegetable gardens will be open for viewing from 1 to 4 p.m. After tours have concluded, refreshments, including hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar, will be served at the Lodge at Pleasant Point from 4 to 6 p.m.
Among the gardens will be Eastman Hill Stock Farm’s formal garden beds, a whimsical fairy garden on the shores of Kezar Lake, and elaborate landscaping at an 1820 farmhouse. Highlights include a treehouse, a faux stream bed for water filtration, and a scarecrow dressed in a beekeeper’s outfit. There will also be two organic and sustainably maintained vegetable gardens on tour.
Tickets are available for sale on the day of the tour from noon to 1 p.m. at the Kimball-Stanford House located at 551 Main St. You can also reserve tickets by making a payment before the event. Tickets cost $25 per person and all proceeds will benefit the Society. Children 12 and younger can participate for free.
