September 24, 2026 – Tour: Karen Adams Gardens created by Bloomistry Gardens

Last May, SGC members toured the impressive gardens of Mrs. Adams, a client of Connor Parrish, owner of Bloomistry Gardens. We were so enthralled with the beautiful gardens we asked to revisit in the fall.  On September 24, we will have the opportunity to spend an hour doing just that.  The amazing gardens, hardscape and structures were a result of Connor and Karen’s work and vision. The massive dahlia garden will certainly be magnificent with abundant dahlias in bloom.  We will see the stunning outdoor sculptures and hardscape garden full of many native and pollinator plants.  After we check out the horse barn, we will visit two lush Kitchen Gardens. There is no fee for this tour.
