Each of the six plots in the second annual Mad River Valley Arts Garden Tour has its own unique personality. One garden is built around natural features such as rocks, a pond, and unmown areas for birds and butterflies. Another is a manicured vegetable garden with a view of Lincoln Gap. Yet another is a cluster of hostas in a woodland setting complete with a fireplace and stone wall. Maps in hand, guests may visit each of the designated grounds, located throughout the Mad River Valley, at their leisure during tour hours. A ticketed preview party takes place on the evening of July 16.
