The countdown begins! The Rowayton Gardeners' Community Gardens Walk and Great Gnome Hunt is this Sunday (June 13) at Pinkney Park (10am-2pm). There’ll be fun for everyone, including a nature inspired Scavenger and Gnome Hunt. Join in the hunt for Bertie (pictured here) and his sly gnome friends at Rowayton’s most unique event of the season.
The Community Gardens Walk and Gnome Hunt will also feature Environmental Education Stations staffed by Norwalk Land Trust, Norwalk River Watershed Association, Norwalk Pollinator Pathway, Norwalk Tree Alliance, Rowayton Gardeners’ Master Gardeners, and Skip the Plastic Norwalk. You won’t want to miss the Stamford Museum & Nature Center’s Farm Fun programs at the Potting Shed (behind the Rowayton Library) at 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Enjoy refreshments by Upper Crust Bakery & Café, Darien and, music by the Elaine Rojas and the John Holden Duo. Attendees will get an up-close look at six of Rowayton’s beautiful community gardens, with Rowayton Gardeners’ docents on-hand to answer your questions.
Advance tickets can be purchased on the Gardeners’ website, for $30/family (2-6 persons) and $20/individual. Purchase your tickets at: rowaytongardeners.org.
