The Pemberton Arts Council invites you to inject some beauty into your weekend at the upcoming Art and the Garden Festival!

Performing and visual artists will display and market their crafts in the stunning garden settings in the Pemberton area. Participants will have the opportunity to mingle and chat with the artists and gardeners. Last year’s participants had a ball and even made some new friends! The first tour held Saturday, July 22, will focus on gardens around the town of Pemberton. The second tour will venture north of Pemberton on Sunday, July 23.

Both days of the Art and Garden Festival begin at 9:45 AM sharp.

Saturday’s tour meets at the Pemberton Community Barn.

Sunday’s tour convenes at the junction of Reid Road and Portage Road (the turn off to Mosquito Lake).

Vehicles are required, car-pooling is recommended and ride share can be arranged at the meet up spots. Lunch will be served. The tours will last until 4:00 to 4:30 PM.

The event is sponsored by local gardens suppliers; Pemberton RONA and Pemberton Valley Nursery. Tickets are $30.00 and available at One Earth in Pemberton, Our Glass Works Studio in Birken and online at http://www.pembertonartscouncil.com/event-2515750. A limited number of tickets are available.
